[RTTY] I have a question

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

It really depends on the checkers and the software they are using.  If 
they can determine it was the other guy the blew it then he gets hit.  
Maybe W0YK will add his 2 dollars worth.

One could actually modify the way his macros are organized for a particular contest as long as one knows what parameters are used for log correction and maybe avoid loosing points for himself and possibly the oher station. I would personally include the info in the contest rules, now at this point if one makes good use of the information or he doesn't it becomes HIS problem.
