I realized that MMTTY had a feature of time stamping.
It prints a time stamp at the beginning and end of each transmission.
They are visible on the screen and saved in the log. (if you have logging
enabled)
Below is an except of that log with what my normal xmit/listen time
sequences.
These are not contest style intervals exactly but can give me a idea of duty
cycles.

I would expect that someone in a serious run would far exceed these
intervals.
