[UK-CONTEST] FW: Ropoco + other RSGB contests

[Clive Whelan]

Sadly, as I have become aware from personal correspondence with Tom 
himself, the lack of a  macro of the type"{prevexch}"  is a function of 
the fundamental architecture of the programme, and therefore not readily 
addressable by the peripheral programming team, good though they are.

That said, whilst we sit here debating the matter  simultaneously 
contemplating our navels, no progress is likely. Roger has taken up the 
challenge  and posted to the forum, and it is urgently required that 
other Gs do likewise. We do have allies in the LZs, who have a rather 
idiosyncratic event requiring onward transmission of the previous 
exchange and they have already been more vocal than the Gs. So let's be 
more like Oliver and less like shrinking violets, pretty though they 
are. We want more, and I don't mean gruel ;-)
