[RTTY] Spotting Question on BPSK

When I spot in BPSK, I report my supressed carrier frequency e.g., 14.070 and 
then report the frequency at which I worked or found the station in the comments 
area. It could be 1250 hz or whatever. I do this to save me the trouble of 
having to add the transmit frequency to the supressed carrier frequency for the 
spot. My CAT control is already reporting the latter. Ostensibly, I'm lazy! If 
you don't like that method of spotting on BPSK, just ignore the spot. It's OK 
with me!

Happy Easter to all.
