[RTTY] The perfect delay for run CQ?

[Ktfrog007 at aol.com]

Hi Rich,
 
I ran across your email while reviewing my in-box this morning.
 
I run my rig at full power on RTTY in contests although 50% is the  
recommendation.  Therefore, I use a delay about the same length as my CQ,  which is 
4-5 seconds depending on the contest and conditions.  I'm aiming  at a 50% 
overall duty cycle.
 
Mostly I do S&P, so I'm usually below an average 50%.
 
73,
Kermit, AB1J

Curious  what y'all use for CQ delay in your run macro?
I tried values from 3 to 5  seconds and it seemed that about 4 seconds 
worked.
Running barefoot to  dipoles, or 400W to dipoles.

New to rtty contesting and working towards  perfection <grin>.
