We can go further!  Now that ENN is heard more frequently in the
major contests, why not abbreviate that to AR (didahdidahdit).  But
even that's a bit long-winded for something that never changes and
has no meaning - so just send R (didahdit).  That covers all bases,
R for Roger, and R for standard RST (599) - and you know that the
"important bit" of the exchange is coming next.

For example:

EI5DI:    EI5DI TEST
G0WMW:    G0WMW
EI5DI:    G0WMW R 204
G0WMW:    R 281
EI5DI:    TU EI5DI

I'm serious about this.

73,
Paul EI5DI
