Hi Hank,

Likewise, thanks for the Q's in the contest.  Thanks also for commenting 
that my RTTY seems slow - it seems that way to me too!  Unfortunately, I am 
at a loss to figure out what the true speed is or how to fix it if it is 
slow.  I use WriteLog with the MMTTY plug-in for contest logging.  I've 
checked MMTTY and the baud rate is set to 45.45.  In WriteLog the speed is 
set to 45 baud (60 wpm).  Yet, despite these settings my ear tells me my 
sending speed is slower than many of the stations I am printing.

I will copy this to both the WriteLog and RTTY Contesting reflectors to see 
if  anyone else has an opinion or suggestion.  All comments appreciated.

73,
Gary AL9A
