I really wanted a way to do this with the built in CW memory keyer without a
computer on CW. I could have sworn I saw a way to do it.
It would be great if there was a macro you could insert into a cw memory that
sent incremental numbersfor example, store
XXX 5NN TU de N2YTF
In M4 and

Everyone is 59(9) in a contest. There are keyers out there that
handle serial numbers. As one example;

I am sure there are more.
Signal reports only have relative value, especially in a contest. The
fact that a contest station down the street with stacked be
Don't all the mainstream contest logging software packages support
sequential serial number generation that precludes the need to generate
them in a keyer either outboard or in a radio?

in contests to get reports to see how well we were getting out. One of
