[RTTY] Q Rate Killers

[Tom Magarelli]

I'm not sure if I'm one of the guilty parties

My exchange was   K4SBZ  UR 599 NJ NJ NJ 05 05 05 

My thought was to send my state and zone 3 times, hopefully not needing a
repeat. That seemed to work I only had 1 station ask me for a repeat of my
State. My thinking was not having a lot of repeats, I could make more
contacts and move along quicker.  

Please tell me if my thinking is wrong. I'm not in the big league either,
just trying to have some fun.

A while back, there was a discussion about how extra spaces and characters
slow down an exchange. Those a nothing compared to the many ops that I
worked in the CQ WW DX RTTY Contest last weekend that took 15-20 seconds or
longer to reply. I'm not in the big leagues and worry about milliseconds,
but when it takes almost a minute to complete a contact, that gets to me.
