[RTTY] Q Rate Killers

[Art (K5FNQ)]

then what is the recommended minimum and maximum to send?

N1MM default has "his call, sec, state, sec, state, mycall"

At times with a strong station I would hit escape before "my call" was 
sent.  I had no problem with that.

Cutting to "sec state sec state" scares me that the other station might 
not have my call or I might have busted his?
