[RTTY] Contest exchanges:Adding their call

[David Levine]

Mike,

I do it too as my base macro. In good conditions and not a lot of stations
calling, it's a little overkill, but I sure appreciate it when it's sent to
me. Covers up someone calling (including me if I was resending my call) the
beginning of the transmission. Also if my call doesn't come through
correctly, it might come through correctly on the tail end of the exchange
and I don't feel like I need to correct him so he logs me correctly.

So I do like receiving my call at the start and tail end of the response.
