[PVRCNC] FW: ARRLDX SSB W4BBT SOAB HP

[Rowland Archer]

Nate has way more experience with this than I do -- but my approach is to
record the common phrases as voice macros in N1MM+,
turn on enter sends exchange, and then when I hit enter to log the Q, N1MM+
sends "Thanks, K4XD contest."  I don't think this sounds robotic since I
pre-recorded the entire phrase, it's not being pieced together like the
robo-voicing of call signs.

73,
Rowland K4XD
