Having worked RTTY for more than 25 years I thought the use of TU in
addition to being Thank You was also the equivalent of QSL, as in, when
S&Ping, responding to the running station's exchange by sending: XX1XX
TU 599 05 NJ. No extra time needed to be polite, and sometimes it even
happens in CW.

I noticed that no one added TU to their QSOs. I guess a simple "thank
you" would take almost half a second too long.
You would have seen TU if you worked me!
It would have been better to say, "no one that I worked said thank you".
