Digital Macros!
One more Q!
The following are suggested macros to be used in digital contests. The initial macros are based on CQ WPX, with only the differences listed for other contests, below the CQ WPX section.
Note that the wild card tags here are used by PSK Express and N7YG Digital Engine. You may have to modify the tags for your digital software.
You can download the macros that will import right into N7YG Digital Engine and PSK Express, that N3FJP uses, by clicking here (depending on your browser, you may have to right click and then click Save As). After you download the file, start Digital Engine or PSK Express and then click File > Import Macros. You will just have to edit name and state as appropriate by right clicking the macro button on the app.
