I swear, Randy was reading my mind. It's almost exactly what I wrote in my
3830 report last night.
Is there a software package out there that this is the default S&P macro for
RTTY?
Pretty sure it's not N1MM+ that has this as a default.
95% of very casual ops won't/don't read this list, so it's up to us to put
those comments in our 3830 reports, here (yes, most won't read it) , our
local clubs, DX clubs, contest clubs etc and inform those just starting out
in contests. WE need to reach out to those writing software, who are amazing
coders, but maybe not contesters, to "fix" this. Grumbling here is great,
but we need to go beyond that. I operate almost no RTTY (but was on during
'WPX this past weekend), so it's not going to be me
to reach out to the programmers, etc. but I have mentioned this to our local
contest club which has a few newbies.
Remember, if it weren't for the casual ops, newbie and wander-by's, we'd
have very few others to work !

many times I would hear my call print in the clear and then there was QRM

other callers when they were sending their call.

CU (all of a sudden!) in the next one.
