There is another undocumented use of %B, at least in RTTY. If you program
an F key memory location with %B and then during a contest enter a call but
can't break his pileup hitting the F key with %B puts the call onto the Band
Map. Not sure if this works in CW or not.

Subject: Re: [WriteLog] %B
Look in the help file under CW messages.
the letter "B"
The characters in the memory between a %B and a following %B are ignored
(and not sent) unless the current Entry window has at least one character
in its CALL field and that call sign is a duplicate on the Entry window's
current band. Under these conditions, the characters between the %B's are
sent, and any characters following the final %B are ignored. If there is a
%C before the %B in the memory, then when the "/Special case/" for %C
described above is in effect, the dupe check is also held until you tab or
space out of the CALL field. In this special case, only one pair of %B
characters will be correctly processed, and they must appear after the %C

Sorry, but I can not remember what %B does in CW. Plan to operate this
weekend in the CQWW CW, looked at my old macro's and I had this one with
a %B. Went to the help files, but I need the plain English version.
Getting old--can't remember from one year to the next. Need more notes.
