[RTTY] macros

[Vladimir Sidorov]

A good idea, indeed.
Besides the no-no for a macro repeating a received exchange back, I for one 
would also beg the software authors to never assign a F key for the QSO B4 
message by default...  If there is one, a newcomer will simply use it, full 
speed.

If/when a to-be-contester tries a contest for the first time(s), he will 
certainly trust his contesting software first hand. He/she may never even be 
aware of contesters' mailing lists or the likes, let alone somebody else's 
opinions and advises.

73,
