[RTTY] What abt LINE feed

[Dave Hachadorian]

You have it correct, Larry. SPACE at the end of all your macros, 
not a linefeed. If the last word in your macro is a callsign, 
better add TWO spaces, because Writelog needs two extra 
characters before it highlights a callsign. Linefeed at the 
beginning of a macro is OK.
