[Elecraft] General Digital Contesting Help

[Pete Smith]

I'd suggest you take a look at some of the sample macro files that K8UT 
has put on the N1MM Logger web site, at 
<http://n1mm.hamdocs.com/tiki-list_file_gallery.php?galleryId=13>.  As 
an aid to deciphering, F1 is your CQ message, F2 is your exchange, F3 is 
the TU message used at the end of the QSO, and F4 is reserved for your 
call.  F5 is his call.  In N1MM, your call is represented by * or 
{MYCALL} and his call by !. The rest of the stuff in curly brackets is 
additional automation provided by N1MM.
