Hello Claude, Bob and all.

Have similar discuss here at my end with Girts/YL2KL
yesterday at YL4U and also one year ago as D4C ....

So, three times call sounds stupid, agree,
but here is a lot of situations, just
one more scenario :
- TEST de YL4U CQ
- de HG4I fg5f4YI n5rRI (say two, three calling)
  and I get one of version as HG4I
- HG4I 599 15 HG4I (not all OPs start crying abt wrong
  call or not looking carefully to screen)
- 599 15 DG4I (finally correct is DG4I)
- DG4I TU YL4U CQ (see, here is better to confirm call)

Yes, possible to make different macros, but if using
ESM mode in N1MM, than different macros at end of contest
make good error source too.
My suggestion, maybe take away first time call
from HG4I 59915 HG4I message, why not! Remember, how
come CQ to end of CQ string. Also how call come
to end of return message - just because first
part of message probably will be jammed. So, but
we have 599 for jamming, also zone in many situations is
known. So, quite safe is to remove call from start -
only 599 15 HG4I and go go  ;-)
BDW ,in N1MM  same ESM keys..
