Ron,

You would do well to Hank's suggestions.

RTTY contesting has a focus on efficiency and the best results are obtained by using the exchanges and formats that are the standards in the RTTY contesting world. I don't think the standard set that is loaded into N1MM reflects that, however, there are many many references in the history of this board which is worth taking some time to read. The merits of each exchange type has been debated frequently and you can see the logic and suggestions from some of the top guys in RTTY contesting (of which Hank is one).

Good luck in the NAQP!

I wanted to increase the
time diddles ran before sending text, the macro went into text almost
without any
diddle time at all with the default settings.


Please, no diddles? Standard and best RTTY contest procedure is no diddles.

Start your exchange with an {ENTER} then your exchange. End your
transmission with a single space.

Anything extra wastes time and doesn't contribute to readability.

For instance, {TX}{ENTER}! 599 # {RX}      Note no space after the {ENTER}

And {TX}{ENTER}CQ TEST {MYCALL} {MYCALL} CQ {RX}     Note space after the
last CQ

Good luck and have fun.

Contest Exuberantly,

Hank, W6SX
