Thanks for the experience and insight Dennis. From the few times that my 
signal has been good enough to raise a small pile-up, your macro 
suggestion has worked best. It seems long enough to get through, yet 
short enough to be efficient. I have now put "W1XXX 599 OP STEVE W1XXX" 
into both MMTTY and FlDigi.

I did get you on CW in the test, but not on RTTY unfortunately.
