[RTTY] Exchanges

[Ron Kolarik]

Tom, I don't blow them off. If I get the information exchange
the first pass I'll CQ again and if the same thing happens then
I have a macro for "your call pse k0idt".  There have been to many
times when the information exchange was for a close station and
not my pipsqueak signal that I came up with the macro in self
defense :)
