I do it dynamically - my standard exchange is something like 
<space+hiscall+space>599 SC SC SC<space>
And, when needed, I can add a second macro that has 
<space+hiscall+space> or a third that has <space+mycall+space>. When 
sigs are strong only the first is normally needed, but either of the 
other two can be added when needed to suit the conditions.

BTW, I have an exchange for bad conditions that is <space+599 SC SC 
SC SC SC SC+space>, and I can place either callsign at the 
appropriate end, or none at all and just use alone it if he asks for a repeat.

Much better to give too much information than not enough.

WL lets me concatenate macros like that just by hitting additional 
function keys. I assume all contest programs do also.
