The relay diode does not affect the closure time. It only extends the relay
opening time.

Hello Jim
Does that clamping diode across the coil affect the TX key up delay time? As in
"slow it down"?

Steve, you might be hearing the induced voltage kick caused by the
inductance of the coil. Try putting a clamping diode. A small signal
diode like a 1n914 will work fine,
