[RTTY] MMTTY tail

This "tail" message made me remember another problem I saw during the
contest.  Several stations had the last letter or two of the end of
their transmission cut off!  This makes it hard to copy a callsign at
the end of an exchange.  I had to wait for some folks to start CQing,
hoping they would send thier call twice, to pick it up correctly.

PLEASE don't end a RTTY buffer abruptly!  As has been mentioned on
this list, carriage-return at the start, blank space at the end, for
EVERY message buffer.  That will keep your amp engaged long enough to
get the final stuff out.
