Why not use the standard CR/LF?

The problem of clipping is most likely because your call comes too quickly
for the other station - or it is difficult to pick out of the "noise" at the
start of the line of data.

If you will start all your macros with CR/LF (ASCII 10/13) - or
LETTERS/LETTERS/CR and end them with two spaces, the call/exchange will show
up on a new line and there will be a space or two before any garble at the
end of the line making it easy for the other station to see (and click if
necessary) on the correct data.

Remember, if the other station is running an amplifier, he probably will not
return to to receive as quickly as you can jump on the transmit key ...
allow a couple "sacrificial characters" at the start of an exchange.  I
still like to start with the other station's call and end with mine when
*calling or answering* stations in S&P and use the other station's call
beginning and end when sending an exchange while running.

Hi just about every time  during an exchange in a  contest the prefix of
my call sign is clipped or corrupted, but if my call ( I wish everyone
would) is put at the end of the exchange its ok. I also noticed during the
wae contest if I requested a repeat of a qtc the first one was garbage the
second was ok. I think there must be  an error in my basic setup, hope
someone can put me straight. I am using MMTTY with N1MM.
