[RTTY] WPX funnies

[Alejandro V. XE1EE]

Hello Dave

One of the points you stated about the guy sending my own call, is something 
I can't understand, because of this:

I know my own call
Many times, because QRM, QSB or whatever,  my call is the only thing I can 
see on the screen and what I need is his, not mine.
I have a macro like this "Please send only your call, only your call", 
sometimes they send it, but sometimes they hit the same button sending my 
own call

About slow operators using keyboard, I try to understand them, maybe the 
operator is not good using a PC, or maybe like myself on first contest in 
1999 wants to join and have limited resources to do it. That first contest I 
was using a Kamplus and hitting the shortcuts to TX and RX.. really slow, 
but fun !.

73!
