[RTTY] dashes be gone

[FireBrick]

had a bit of fun in the RR
my usual s&p see if anybody can hear me.

I was aware that a lot less people were using reports were:
W9OL 599-TX-TX

saw a few W9OL 599-TX TX ect.

that worked also
I don't worry about a fraction of a second, not with my score.

I still would like to make one suggestion for next contest.
I don't hear so good. Consequently callsigns and reports tend to get mixed in the noise 
characters.

I put a CR & a (space) at the beginning of my buffer line and also a CR at the end.

My thinking is...if I can barely copy them, they are more likely to have it tough copying 
me.
So if I try to get the exchange on a clean line and not starting at the window edge, they 
is more chance they will figure out who I am and what I sent.

I'm not a bean counter so those extra seconds won't matter to me, and actually probable 
more than balance out any repeats needed.

I did see one op who had multiple buffers. For the strong full copy stations he sent:
W9OL 599 IL
and for the weaker stations he sent:
W9OL TU 599 IL IL DE BS7H K

To me, that would save a lot more time in the long run.

So what do you Pros think about this, what's the consensus?
