[RTTY] RTTY Sprint

[Larry Gauthier (K8UT)]

I'm with WW3S on this issue.

My end-of-QSO macro includes "QSY" at the end rather than TU or BK or 
whatever. Because the Sprint is, by intent, a contest aimed at S&P mode 
rather than Run mode, sending QSY at the end of a QSO informs anyone 
listening which station will remain on the frequency and who will be 
leaving.

Actually QSY tells me the station I'm hearing is leaving the freq....its
only one more letter than TU and the same as RRR....When I'm tuning, and
only hear one side of the QSO, when I hear QSY, I keep tuning....
