[RTTY] Logic?

[Don Hill AA5AU]

I think we got away from the original thread a little bit (don't remember what that
was anyway hi), but some excellent points have been brought up here.  I did want
to comment on something that rang a bell in this empty nest on my shoulders when
Jon typed in XX0RX QSL TU QRZ  test K1US.

I noticed in the WPX, more than before, many stations are putting the QSL or
TU at the very beginning of the message like QSL TU XX0RX DE K1US QRZ or
whatever.  I thought this was very cool because it enabled me to move on quicker
and did not have to wait from my callsign first before seeing the confirmation.  I'm
thinking of doing the same thing on my buffers.  When I'm in the "power S&P" mode,
I'm in a hurry to get the Q and get on to the next.  Waiting for the confirmation term,
TU, QSL , etc., takes time.  You are either going to see AA5AU PSE AGAIN ? or
AA5AU TU QSL, etc.  When the TU or QSL is at the very beginning of the buffer,
it allows you to move on quicker.

Just a thought.

73, Don
