[RTTY] RTTY

Look in the TX tab of MMTTY Setup and check the sliders for Character wait and Diddle wait.  They should be all the way to the left.
Not 100% sure but I think adjusting these to the right makes your RTTY sound slow.

Hi Hank,

Likewise, thanks for the Q's in the contest.  Thanks also for commenting that my RTTY seems slow - it seems that way to me too!
Unfortunately, I am at a loss to figure out what the true speed is or how to fix it if it is slow.  I use WriteLog with the MMTTY
plug-in for contest logging.  I've checked MMTTY and the baud rate is set to 45.45.  In WriteLog the speed is set to 45 baud (60
wpm).  Yet, despite these settings my ear tells me my sending speed is slower than many of the stations I am printing.

I will copy this to both the WriteLog and RTTY Contesting reflectors to see if  anyone else has an opinion or suggestion.  All
comments appreciated.

73,
Gary AL9A
