[RTTY] Minor chuckle

>From the point of view of the caller I agree that "<urcall> 599 <urcall>" and "<urcall> tu qrp up de <dxcall>" is good.  The most important aspects are first: the <urcall> after the 599 in the DX stations initial response, and second, making sure the initial response is LONGER than the average calling time of the stations calling the DX.  This can be accomplished by the double <urcall> at the end and maybe an extra 599 in the middle.  If the DX station's initial response is shorter than the average calling station's transmission, many callers will frequently not hear the DX station's transmission, and thus keep calling and causing QRM while the DX is (trying) to working someone else.
