[CQ-Contest] Fewer CK and SEC Repeat Requests in SS

[Mike Fatchett]

As a journeyman CW op some of the number combination just threw me
completely.  I don't know why.  Speed did not seem to be the overall
determining factor of error either.

I always cringe when the UBN reports come out for code.  I really need to
operate more CW.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Fewer CK and SEC Repeat Requests in SS

I just love it when a plan comes together.

This year I experienced fewer CK and SEC Repeat Requests in SS, which I
attribute to specifically adding some tweaked partial spacing between the
characters in the WriteLog message slots.

If you have a CK or SEC which has caused you too many repeat request
problems, you might consider a similar approach for SS next year.  Methinks
"casual" once-per-year SS ops have the biggest difficulty in copying data at
higher speeds.  I may retweak things again to hopefully further reduce the
repeat requests.

Yeah, I know, there will always be *some* repeat requests do to QRM ;-(

FYI & 73...
