Field Day Macros for fldigi by KC8TVW Note:Highlight (double click) on a call sign in the receive area then right click and choose call. That will put their call sign in whenever is referred to in the macros. Do the same thing for the class/section ie. 3A WPA, right click and choose QTH Gather those two pieces of information as soon as possible. I change the call sign in Configure>Operator to the club call sign if operating from the club field day site. A blank line at the beginning of each macro insures that my transmission starts clean on his/her receive screen. The same kind of call and answer macros could be set up for regular digital QSO's Macros 1 thru 4 are used when I initiate the contact Macros 9 and 10 are when I respond to CQ Macros 6 thru 8 are used when appropriate Macro 1: I initate the QSO Blank Line CQ FD CQ FD de CQ FD de pse K Label: Call CQ FD Macro 2: I respond to someone answering my CQ, they did not send me any info but their call sign Blank Line de pse copy 6A OH 6A OH 6a oh BTU Label: Respond Macro 3: Roger his info, thanks and close my end of QSO Blank line Rgr ur Tnx for QSO and GL 73 de sk Label: Final Notes: sk means final transmission GL means Good Luck will print/send UTC time and date Macro 4: Sometimes they give their info when they respond to my CQ.
