Bonsoir my friends. Phil are you shure about 10 seconds or it is 4 seconds.
When you are in contest you are not at your work, relax we do contest for fun.
The rtty contest is for us an opportunity to escape from daily life. It was my
first contest in SO2R for sure I did some mistake with my FKeys. I spent lot of
$$ and I learn hard to do SO2R, give me a chance to be better. After few
contest ans with experience I will give you your TU in nano. Like Bill sais
''Maybe slowing down is not a bad thing.'' And I said ''''Maybe slowing down is
good for your heart too''.
There is my frenchy 2 cents.

Subject: [RTTY] SO2R in WPX RTTY
Hi all,
Just an observation, rather than any sort of criticism, but I note that
quite a few SO2R op's were VERY slow in responding to calls and exchanges
during this WPX. And by slow, I mean in the order of 10 seconds or more!
Whilst I am not necessarily in favour of SO2R (as part of the single op
class), I understand why you want to do it, and good luck to you.
BUT, I really think you should be a little quicker on the replies, and maybe
consider those of us on the other end.
Having said that, there were a few SO2R ops that were amazing, and responded
very quickly, so it can be done.
Obviously, if it is your run frequency, you have the control, but I don't
particularly like waiting too long for that TU QRZ while you work a mult on
another frequency.
When I was CQ'ing, I had some callers that were obviously busy elsewhere,
and it really did screw up MY run on occasions when I replied to you, but
you were busy on your run frequency. One several occasions, I sent again,
only to hear the end of your message to me. That meant other callers tried
to get in, figuring I wasn't going to work you, so they called over you.
Did anyone else notice the delay in responses?
As I said, these thoughts are just an observation, and not a criticism!
