RE: [RTTY] ÄRTTYÅ RTTY length and macros

[Robert Jonsson]

Hi all.

I agree also to have the K at the end.
Also a cr at the beginning
One thing confuses me a lot is that message:
Sm5fug sm5fug ur 599 599 sm5fug K
WHO IS SENDING THE MESSAGE.
In a pile up as I get a lot of times a message like that never tells me who
is the sender
I suggest a message like this.

CR
Sm5fug ur 599 xxx xxx de tf3rb K
That tellse the whole story

See u guys
73 de TF3RB KN

No, I suggest to keep the K at the end.

Some software skips space at the end of a buffer.
Putting the K there ensures that there will be a space sent
after the call. Otherwise the call won't be separated
from the noise garbage.

Message should be: 
SM5FUG SM5FUG UR 599 599 SM5FUG K

Double calls at beginning to synchronize on and a single
at the end.

On screen it will look like
GARBAGESM5FUG SM5FUG UR 599 599 SM5FUG KMOREGARBAGE

A Carrige return at start is also nice to have.
