Comments:

Station: TS-450S/AT, PTC-2, RCK-RTTY, "invisible" longwire.

  Some of the big gun stations new to RTTY need to tweak their exchanges, like
starting and ending every buffer memory with a CR. Garble run into the call or
state is a pain and slows down the rest of us when trying to reply.  The two
characters saved is nothing compared to the time spent deciphering the exchange
before hitting the mouse!
  Also, Baudot is not like ASCII, numbers, dashes and slashes do not have unique
codes, they are 'shifted' letters.  Don't send a dash between state
abbreviations, your PC is sending FIGS, dash, then LTRS characters between each
state (really slow and leads to garble).  Use spaces between groups of letters,
and dashes (no spaces) between groups of numbers.
