After the discussion here and on the RTTY reflector I checked with AA5AU and W0YK (aka P49X)
as they are the go to guys for anything related to rtty contesting. Here's what they said:
AA5AU CR/LF before and space after
W0YK CR/LF before and space after (there are some building block macros that don't have
the leading CR/LF as they need to seemlessly stack)
VE3NEA, who is the author of RTTYSKimmer came up with another possibility with a dynamic
way of freezing the data input window based on the mouse movement. He has a demo of this
approach as well as its source code. This program simulates an RTTY client program that prints
received characters and allows you to click on the words in the scrolling window. To see this in
action, please download the freezer demo from
(
http://www.dxatlas.com/private/freezer.zip)
extract Freezer.exe from the zip file, and play with it. While it doesn't have real callsigns you can
quickly get the sense of how it operates.
If this gets picked up by the various contest logging programs, it is maybe a way to make the
discussion of cr/lf moot.
