[RTTY] CQWW exchange

[Claude Du Berger]

It would be nice if the RUN station reply with the  
TU or QSL  at the beginning of his confirmation, this way the S&P 
station could move faster... not waiting for the new way
to reply giving the callsign twice...

  I didn't notice this at all. To me, the confirmation is either QSL or
  TU, and I wait for one or the other on every QSO. During the recent
  contest I don't believe I had a single QSO without receiving one or
  the other. Are you (Roger) looking for something more than that?

  And I agree totally about the 599. Complete waste of time on RTTY. In
  a CW or phone contest it does have some value because it sets the
  rhythm and tone for the report which follows, but RTTY has no such
  need. I think it's just a carryover from other contests.
