[RTTY] RTTY Contest Operating

[Don Hill AA5AU]

It's basically timing for me. Both messages take about the same time and
with the S&P message you get the added assurance that the other station gets
it right the first time and you don't have to send them  repeat.

Also, Steve, VK3JA (ex VK3TDX), once told me it's very difficult in RTTY
contests with serial numbers to get correct copy from down under when it's
sent only twice. That's when I started sending it 3 times in the S&P
message.

Haven't worked Steve since CQWW RTTY. Anyone heard from him?
