[RTTY] Another "macro" suggestion...

..... to help us "Search and Pouncers"....(and for the true 
afficionados of the RTTY game)

How about the CQ-ing station on the QSL/QRZ transmission of the 
exchange send, rather than "N6HE QSL W1XXX CQ" send instead "TU N6HE 
W1XXX CQ" or "QSL N6HE W1XXX CQ?"

Seems like a minor point, but when the rhythm of the QSO is 
established, I can tell when the station I worked is sending to me 
and all I want to know is (and quickly) "did I get my info QSL'd?" so 
sending TU or QSL first would allow me to quickly slide off looking 
for my next victim and yet the CQ-ing station wouldn't be slowed 
down. Lots of those 3-seconds periods really add up!!

Don't get me started on the guys that send in this instance ". . . . 
. OK RAY . . . I QSL" or some such!

I had a blast with the RU this last weekend - thanks to all the sharp 
ops and their dedication to our hobby!

73,
Ray N6HE
