RUN Macros
We need just a few, starting with a CQ macro - Put this in the F1 key defintion
cq test de cq k
Notice that I left 2 spaces between my call and 3 spaces at the end before the k. This will make it easier for a
station to grab my call and the k on the end elminates garbage characters before my macro finishes. The tx/rx are
on seperate lines as I want to be sure my macro is on a line by itself and not mixed in with screen garbage.
Now the exchange macro - Put this in the F2 key definition
599 k
Why do I have his call at the beginning as well as the end, to make sure I have copied his call correctly. You will
also see that I have not as yet logged the contact,why, well are you sure he does not need to correct his call or ask
for a repeat.
You are asked to repeat the exchange, you can just re-send the exchange macro, this verfies all of the information.
Now he sends you his info and if you have copied it correctly you need a TU macro. - Put this in the F3 key
definition
qsl tu qrz test k
Here we have done all the necessary items to complete the exchange. Notice that I did not log the contact until
after everything was correct. I have fldigi set to clear on save, so when the part of the macro executes the
QSO area is cleared.
Thats the end of my RUN macro setup, told you it was rather simplistic and generic.
S&P Macros
I rarely if ever use S&P, but there are times I need to, especially if my QSO rate drops while running. Again the
macros are very generic with only the needed info. If band conditions warrant you may want to send your call 3
times. Put this in the F5 key definition
k
Why just my call ?? Well I assume the other guy already knows his call !
