Another very good question. Various people have different approaches.
Here's what I do.

{TX}{ENTER}CQ BARTG W6SX W6SX CQ {RX}

{TX}{ENTER}{HISCALL} 599 # # {TIME2} {TIME2} {RX}

{TX} W6SX W6SX {RX}

{TX} # # # {RX}

{TX} {TIME2} {TIME2} {RX}

{TX}{ENTER}AGN {RX}

{TX}{ENTER}NR? {RX}

{TX}{ENTER}CALL? {RX}

{TX}{ENTER}TIME? {RX}

Please N1MM users, help yourself. From DI window, Setup, Settings, check
Remove Excess Linefeeds from RX Window.

Also N1MM users, for this BARTG contest, Select Contest Type BARTGSRTTY. Do
not select BARTGRTTYS which is for the BARTG Sprint.

Everyone, please note that more than one linefeed, more than one space
between exchange elements, and various "cuties" like periods are bad
contest form. They slow you and everyone else down. Remember it's a
contest, not a clever-fest.

Diddle Exuberantly,
