Jim and all

I use Writelog, but this procedure is probably valid for any software:

The exchange for "being called" after CQ or previous QSO is put in the "normal"
exchange F-key spot (F10 for me). This supports our automatic response to being
called, typing the call and hitting <Insert> (or <Enter> or whatever).

I put the other exchange in the F-key next to the first one (F11), and I mark
that key with a small strip of colored tape to make it stand out. Since this is
like S&P mode, you do not have the overwhelming urge to hit <Insert>.

I have many impediments to Sprint success, but operating the keyboard is no
longer on the list. I was totally amazed the first time with this scheme -- I
had NO confusion with the exchanges.
