(30 times if you use dashes) REPLY: Which would you rather receive: 123 123 123 123 123 123 (etc, 20 times) or QWE-QWE-QWE-QWE-QWE (etc, 30 times) I've been doing this long enough to mentally translate QWE, but a lot of newcomers haven't and will ask for a repeat of the second example. Isn't it better to just let USOS do its magic? No dashes, please! 73, Bill W6WRT _______________________________________________ RTTY mailing list RTTY@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/rtty |
