[RTTY] Come on, Why bother?

[Fabi va2up]

Hi Don and all,
 
I have a secondary TU macro that sends the name of the op so that I can choose to send it or not (normally not). I don't mind waisting my time but I sure hate waisting the other op's milliseconds...just in case. Say if on the sunday you send me 599 068 068 I'll definitely say hello!
BTW I paid the 3 liner guy to try and slow you down a bit but my stategy was obviously unsuccessfull :)  Nice job! 
 
73,
