[RTTY] Working the next one

[Don Hill AA5AU]

I continue to use this method as Phil describes.  I'm so used to it that I'm afraid of trying the call stack just yet. hi

Sometimes you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

Hi all,

Like others, I use Writelog, and use a buffer to work one, and then the next on one smooth easy manner.
I also use the line described by Don AA5AU, which is:
"%R%P1 TU NOW %C 599 %3 %3 %C %E"

To accomplish this, I have it programmed into one of the F-keys (F10 in my case), and the way it works for me is to work someone,
and then log them using the ENTER key (as if I was S&P), click on the call I want to work next, and then press F10. 
This sends:
AA5AU TU
Now AD1C 599 002 002 002 AD1C

Well, I usually include names where know, and a TU in front of the 599, but what you put, and how you put it is up to you.
But, it is as simple as logging one with ENTER, clicking on the next call you want to work and pressing F10.

It isn't difficult to use, so long as you keep a cool head, and the second caller waits long enough to see that you are calling him!

It is slicker than one alternative, which I spotted numerous times in WPX, which is to send the usual TU QRZ? Buffer, but to hit ESC
to stop the Tx and then press INSERT or F2.

All good fun, and if the propagation continues to improve, it could be very useful!
