[RTTY] Multiple contest exchanges

[W1BYH at aol.com]

In response to comments by W4UK and W6WRT, regarding contest exchanges -  -
Using Writelog, I do almost the same as W4UK, building several short macros 
 together, as needed.
 
I send the report 599 NNN NNN NNN most of the time when S&P, except for  ver
y strong stations, and when I am running  (rarely)  I usually send  the NNN 
only twice.  I found I had virtually no requests for repeats, even  with 
very weak stations, such as JA's from my East Coast location.
 
I have found that, using two decoders, receiving the report sent twice (599 
 NNN NNN) often produces two or even three different numbers, requiring a 
request  for repeat.  Wasted time !!
 
When a weak station only sends 599 NNN, you almost have to ask for a repeat 
 to ensure your og entry is correct, as many times it is not !
 
Just my two cents worth --
