[RTTY] Dashes in Contest Reports

[Roger Cooke]

Hi.

   I agree. The other thing that is quite annoying is for the
extremists among us who just return with   "152"  and that's it.
I don't like heavily populated macros, but that is just plain stupid.

  There is another one,  the 10 line feeds after sending their
report!!  Chasing it up the screen is impossible, because you
cannot scroll up enough! Is that a deliberate contesting tactic? ;-)

It was nice to see some JAs and ZLs on though, just wish I had
more time to operate.
