[RTTY] K or carriage return

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Note that I specifically said *SINGLE RADIO* stations.  I understand
that an SO2R station will work more than that but they calculation is
significantly different ... somewhere in the range of 8000 - 10000 QSOs
before the extra 500 msec per QSO (and only if their call is at the end
of a macro) would be a real issue.

73,

    ... Joe, W4TV
