[RTTY] RTTY contest questions and comments

[Jerry Flanders]

But different conditions would favor different variations. I think 
one macro for (HISCALL exchange) and then separate macros containing 
only (HISCALL) and (MYCALL) give the most flexibility. Then just put 
them together (or even leave out the last call for some Qs) at tx time.

Don't all contest programs allow macros to be "assembled" from 
different function keys on the fly? Maybe n1mm does not?
