[RTTY] Courtesy

[Dave Barr]

Having worked RTTY for more than 25 years I thought the use of TU in 
addition to being Thank You was also the equivalent of QSL, as in, when 
S&Ping, responding to the running station's exchange by sending:   XX1XX 
TU 599 05 NJ.  No extra time needed to be polite, and sometimes it even 
happens in CW.

I noticed that no one added TU to their QSOs. I guess a simple "thank
you" would take almost half a second too long.

You would have seen TU if you worked me!

It would have been better to say, "no one that I worked said thank you".
