Harry, That is a great concept for making Macros. But, I think you can save 5 macro locations by using the "*" tag in your memories.
What I have done is program memory #60-64 with the 60 meter frequencies. Then you tag each one with the "*". This means each time you select any one of them as you move the tuning knob you will step through all 5 in a loop.
