[RTTY] Formatting your CQ call for detection by the RTTY skimmer, RCKskimmer

[Rex Maner]

Wes
I know I'm old and a bit dense, I don't see the space your talking about?

Do I make my MACRO  "CQ TEST K7QQ"   OR  do I make it  " CQ TEST K7QQ " AND 
do I need to put the brackets at the end ??

 I think I see the space at the end but not at the front ??
