This is mainly useful when you have several stations answering your CQ and there may be others still calling when you come back to someone with a report.
Shift+F3 – This sends only the other station’s callsign. I use only 3 shifted messages which means there are plenty of spare slots for additional messages. This can be extended to sending the state abbreviation 3 times instead of 2. Note, there is no message to ask a Canadian station for a repeat of their province or area because WriteLog prefills the QTH field in the Entry Window by looking at the Canadian callsign in the Call field.į11 – Used to send a repeat of your State when requested. If you are unsure, chain F9 with F7 by typing F9 then typing F7 in succession.į10 – Asks for a repeat of the other station’s State when the other station is located in the USA (not including Alaska and Hawaii). There is no reason to send your callsign unless you are unsure the run station has your call correct. There is no reason to send the callsign of the station you are working. %P1 represents the callsign of the station you just logged.į9 – This is your S&P (search & pounce) report.
So if you work W1ZT first and log him, then put K4GMH in the Entry Window, and hit F8, the message will send: TU W1ZT NOW K4GMH 599 LA. If you want to send the callsign of the station you logged first, insert %P1 immediately after %R in the message %RTU %P1 NOW %C 599 LA %E. This message confirms the contact with the first station and send a report to the second station. If you decode two (or more) callsigns, you work the first station and log him, then enter the callsign of the second station into the Entry Window either by clicking on it in Rttyrite or typing it is manually, then hit F8. It can be chained with F3, F5, F6, F8 or F9 by hitting F3 then F7.į8 – This is a special message to use when you receive more than one callsign on your screen while running. This message is appended to other messages for clarity if you believe the other station does not have your call correctly. Note this is a message that does not start with %R. Instead of AGN? you could send QRZ? It’s your choice.į7 – Your callsign once. Or if you come across a signal and only see their “CQ” on the end, you can send AGN? as a request for them to send their CQ message again. It can be used if you didn’t copy the callsign of someone answering your CQ or you can use it to have someone repeat their entire report. This chains the two messages together and sends your callsign three times.į6 – This “AGN?” message can be used different ways. If you are calling a station and others are also calling, you may elect to hit F5 then F7. Always send “TU” as the first thing in your confirmation message so the other stations knows right away you got his report OK.į5 – Your callsign sent twice. Always only send RST once.į4 – Confirmation when running. It includes the other station’s callsign, signal report, and your State (or Number %3 if DX) sent twice. Always put the “CQ” at the end of the message followed by a space.į3 – This is the report message you send when you are running (CQing). The first “CQ” in the message can be replaced with something like “RU” if you like. (Note: DX stations can use %1 instead of %3 which sends number 1 instead of 001.)į2 – CQ Message.
For DX stations, use %3 to to send the required 3 digital serial number.
DX Stations, including Alaska and Hawaii, send RST & serial number starting at 001. The exchange in the ARRL RTTY Roundup is RST & state for US stations, RST & Canadian area for Canadian stations. Copy & Paste messages shown at the end of this page.Shifted Messages for the ARRL RTTY Roundup.
