I misunderstood the original situation, but understand now. Since I've never
tried transmitting the contents of an F-key message
while in the ALT-K window, I didn't even know this worked on CW.
You are correct though, it does not work on RTTY. Not sure why you would need
this in a contest although it might be good during a
normal RTTY QSO.

Tom,
If I had started out with RTTY instead of CW using writelog (a whole lot of
years ago) I would agree with you but since in CW when
you are in the alt-k window if you hit the macro keys (F1-F11) the macros get
entered and transmitted just as if you had typed them
into the window. It does NOT work that way with RTTY mode.
