[RTTY] Another "macro" suggestion...

[Vladimir Sidorov]

Ray,

A good point, indeed. For this very purpose my usual macro is:
TU N6HE 73 DE VE3IAE QRZ
or
TU N6HE 73<CR>
DE VE3IAE QRZ.

"73" is yet another confirmation if you eventually miss the TU in sometimes 
garbled start of decoding.

73,
Vladimir VE3IAE
