[RTTY] <CR> and off-freq observation comments

[Chuck Brudtkuhl]

All,
   
  Back when I participated in more contests, I too would add the <CR><space><space> at the beginning of each transmission ... thought then and still do think its a good idea.
   
  The observations regarding off frequency responses.  I used to think this was getting to be the norm .. that and the move to 200 hz shift due to the movement to TNCs.  This off-frequency response (and wide shift) is VERY noticable when using a scope to tune.  Often stations were so far off freq as to be out of my narrow receive band-pass.  
   
  It was so bad a few years ago that I'd work split when running a freq .. so I could t-u-n-e my receiver way off freq to get all respondents.
