I made a few at the beginning just like that.  The Macros were left
over from CQ WW RTTY and had something like "599-{EXCH}" in them.

In N1MM, choosing the contest at the start defaults the value of
{EXCH} to the right thing (you can adjust as necessary).  Well, for CQ
WW RTTY, that was 04, so the print on the screen was "599-04" which is
good, but for RU it printed as "599-OK", which is bad.  I edited all
the macros once I noticed.

Can't think of a way to automate that within the software ...


Of course, I also had "UOS" unselected in MMTTY for some reason ...
