[RTTY] CQWW exchange

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

Merci Claude!

You're absolutely right. The confirmation macro (usually F3) should start 
with either TU or QSL and then whatever the operator deems "important".

{TX} TU {CALL} {MYCALL} CQ {RX}

That's all that is needed when using N1MM in running mode.
