Topband: Patience in ARRL 160 Contest

[Joe K2UF]

Using N1MM I use a macro called 'AUTOHOTKEY' at "autohotkey.com'  it runs in
the background and I have programmed the 'WINDOW' key between the 'CTRL' and
"ALT' keys on the left side as a substitute for the 'ALT-W' sequence.  I
have used it for several years and and it works great.  It is easier for an
old guy to hit one key rather than two keys together late in a contest.

With enough THRUST pig fly just fine.

N1MM:   You can press ALT + W , or program one of the function keys with
{WIPE}. I have F12 set like this, for those not so rare times that the call
I entered is so fumble-fingered that using backspace or arrow keys is
hopeless: better to start fresh. Of course, by the time I've retyped the
call and hit ENTER, the other chap has started  sending his call  again
while my report is going out ... in effect doubling and wasting time.
Unfortunately, no amount of science is going to make my fingers work any
better.

On occasion, this might make sense.  The trouble is that
I will have already typed in "N6RK" by the time I have figured out
that he is sending my call.  Is there any easy way to fix
this in N1MM other than clicking "wipe" with the mouse?  By
the time I have done that, I have missed his call and have
to QRZ.  My operating skills are merely adequate, not great.
Any interruption of the routine is bad.
