Bill W6WRT,
I am just getting back into RTTY myself and greatly enjoying the mode.
I am wondering why you are signing as the other station:
ME: K1XX 599 <EXCH> <EXCH> K1XX
I would use:
ME: k1xx 599 <exch> <exch> w6wrt (your callsign)
If conditions are bad then double the callsigns as needed to make the QSO.
