[WT-support] Macro $CORRECT

[Franta Bendl]

Hi Iain,

yes I know the standard procedure - I made abt. 1500 QSOs last weekend ;-)

I don't see a danger of misunderstanding:

CQ DJ0ZY DJ0ZY TEST
N6ML
(typo: N6MK and I see (hear) it at the time of send and make correction to 
N6ML)
N6MK 5NN 1234 N6ML
5NN 678
TU DJ0ZY

What do you mean could be the problem? I heard such corrections last weekend 
one or two times made manually and I found it as good idea. And I had never 
doubt to understand what the station mean. So I am looking for possibility 
how to realize it automatically with Wintest.

My idea is to have $CORRECT in both "INS" and "+". So if I was enough fast the 
correction will be send after report and in the other case (I was too late) 
than it will be send before "TU" as usual.
