You got that right, I frequently 'tweak' my exchanges right in the middle of a contest 
depending on many factors, prop, what the exchange is, etc.

As my age was 59, I got a couple of 'again?' and changed the buffer so it was more 
separated and distinct.

And I've learned a while ago to start buffers with a CR to separate my signal from the 
chaff

I no longer use - between rst and sn

I did see one that seemed to be over kill.

I'll let the baud counters figure out if that takes longer than all on one line.
