Agreed, but W0YK suggested to me  that these keys be programmed with the 
info just once.  Then press the key as many times as you would like to 
send that data.  So you could send just the serial no.  once, twice or 
six times based on the number of key presses. It may not sound like it 
in an email, but it works very well.  Even my S&P callsign macro only 
has my call one time and I press F5 twice during S&P.  I really like his 
method since adopting it.

Everyone should have a macro or two that sends only the important part 
of the exchange, i.e. no calls, no 599, etc. When asked for a repeat in 
a contest with serial numbers I send the serial number six times. I 
almost never get asked for a second repeat. Likewise with state, zone or 
whatever. Six seems to be the magic number for me. 73, Bill W6WRT
