[RTTY] CQWW exchange

[Claude Du Berger]

I dont even repeat the call with the confirmation since
I had sent his calls twice with my exchange in RUN.
My exchange:  W6WRT 599 05 QC QC W6WRT
My confirmation:  TU  VE2FK CQ

Still thinking hi.

  Interesting idea. At present I have my RUN TU macro as:

  <CALL> TU W6WRT CQ

  I'm afraid if I change it to TU <CALL> W6WRTCQ there is a chance that
  if I have the other station's call wrong he may see only the TU and
  take off without realizing the error. It seems to happen at least once
  during every contest that the call needs correcting at that point.
  Food for thought.
