[RTTY] RTTY Contest Operating

[Ed Muns]

I do the same dynamic messaging from home in CA where my QSO rate and count
is less than most everyone else.  I think it is universal to vary
communication based on the current situation.

I can see Bill's point.  Do it once with what is clearly overkill but then 
you can be sure it's done.

I don't' have to send repeats too much and in that case, I find 3x on the 
resend of the exchange to work good for me.  But I don't have any hard 
data - it just seems like I moved to 3x from 2x a while back because I had 
to repeat the 2x a couple of times too many.  For ed, who generally has a 
6-digit exchange from running 100K Q's each contest, keeping the repeat 
count low avoids a 60-second long transmission cycle (ha ha).

I wonder what Don AA5AU has for repeat count?  He's generally running LP and

does not have Ed's favored QTH so his experience may be closer to what the 
average guy would encounter.
