Perhaps they just don't speak English that well, and are limited in what
they can say and understand. 73.

Tim, I think the inventor of PSK31, G3PLX, may agree with you. His first
versions of PSK software (still available in our files section) was developed
for rag-chews and had NO macros. Maybe we
Hi Folks,
I fully understand everyones point of view over Macros, and hate them myself.
I must admit (as a very recent newcomer to Digimode), I do use the Macro for
calling CQ, but more often return to others calling.
I would love to 'ragchew', but here in Europe, there are some underlying
Read this with some interest as I hate using the macros OTHER than for
helping call CQ to make contacts.
Had my first digital QSO this last CW sweepstakes on CW actually at about 15
wpm. Was just testing out the set up as we hadn't had time to do anything
before the contest to check out things.
In response to your question about digital on 160, yes there is some
PSK31/Olivia/JT65 activity around 1.838, give or take. There's just
not very much of it.

Good points by G3OBU.
I find Macros to be quite useful. I use them to send info that is part of a
normal QSO. I use them for program operation, such as ALIGN:1500.. I imbed

When I first commented that macros were a problem I probably chose my

This sounds familiar. There has always been a conflict between DXing and rag
chewwing. The elimination of macros sounds a bit like outlawing Q and number
codes in CW. But who wants to send 'best wishes' when 73 will do. We really
need a gewntleman's agreement to separate dx and

Know what you mean there Jim.
I have been doing a lot of Amtor and pactor lately.
Had a opening to VK land the other day for a nice
QSO for over an hour.
