5.0 Program Macros
The following macros may be placed in any file or user defined brag text or
operating parameters. These macros allow the user to have full control over
time, data, callsign and other exchange information that might be of interest
during normal operation.
5.1 Macro Types
There are two forms of macros that may be used. These forms are inser-
tion and typeover. In the case of the insertion macro the text will be
inserted into the outgoing text stream. For example of the name macro
(sn) is used in insertion mode it will be used as shown.
Macro Line Hello this is ~sn how are you today.
Outgoing Text Hello this is John how are you today
This assumes that the user name of John has been defined in the User
Information of the program.
Typeover macros are designed to preserve the line length. In this case
any text that is placed directly behind the macro may be overwritten if
the macro text is longer than the space of the macro. This must be taken
into consideration when designing graphics for file transfer.
The insertion mode uses the tilde character (~) to start the macro. The
typeover mode uses the “at” (@) symbol to start the macro.
5.2 User Station Macros
The following macros are available to allow you to embed information
about your station into outgoing text.
sn - Your first name
sc - Your callsign
sq - Your QTH (station location)
ss - Your AMTOR SELCAL
