There is one major advantage to Writelog for RTTY. Writelog 
takes the incoming character stream and compares it against 
the AA5AU database for possible embedded callsigns. For 
example, in the sequence FDR8EK7WM6CVDF, Writelog will 
highlight K7WM as a callsign. Just press the ENTER key and 
K7WM 599 CA will be sent. If you are on the receiving end of 
a pileup, or if copy is marginal, this feature is 
invaluable. N1MM needs a nice clean freestanding word that 
"looks" like a generic callsign before it will identify the 
word as a callsign.
