Message variables
These variables can be used in programming CW messages using the F-keys. Some of these variables do not actually create output but rather perform actions at specific points in time, like the $CR symbol.
CW automation
- $MYCALL : sends callsign set in contest configuration
- $SERIAL : sends QSO #
- $ZONE : sends zone nr set in contest configuration
- $LOGGEDCALL : send what's typed in callsign field
- $CORRECT : send a call correction, if any
- $INSERT and $PLUS : send messages behind INS or + key
- ^ : the halfspace character with 1/2 dot duration
- $QSOB4 : send QSOB4 message
- $F1...$F6 : send the message associated with F1 ... F6 function key
- $MSG1...$MSG12 : additional CW messages (see Alt - C)
Action
- $GUESSEXCH (or $GUESSEXCHANGE) : mimics a space bar hit (filling exchange field(s)
