[RTTY] After the tough qso

[Jeff Stai]

What Ed said (I agree with Ed a lot...) I would add that in the case where
you really feel you didn't finish - the other guy gave up - just call
again. I do see that sometimes and I just resend my TU KS7AA CQ again,
maybe send it twice if I think that will help. 73 jeff wk6i
