[WriteLog] TU NOW MESSAGE

[Ed Muns]

[Here is the properly formatted version of my post.  The first post got nuked somehow.]

I do it with the following message:

     TU %C, NOW %L

This is F8, mapped to SEMICOLON.   My normal Run Exchange message is F5, mapped to APOSTROPHE.  Thus,  all I do is tap SEMICOLON and APOSTROPHE in rapid succession, then turn my attention to a second radio or the other VFO for SO2V.  The other stations on frequency print:

     TU AA5AU,  NOW
     W5AJ 599 CA CA

Normally, I'm not doing this but just sending F6, my Run QSL message, which is sent by ENTER, since I use ESM.  Thus, all three keys are adjacent to each other and they are all I use for 99% of my Run QSOs. 

For S&P, my call is mapped to OPEN SQUARE BRACKET and my S&P Exchange is mapped to CLOSE SQUARE BRACKET.  Thus, my S&P messages are all right above my 3 Run messages.

73,
Ed W0YK
