[RTTY] WPX

[Jeff Stai]

CQ-ers are beggars, and beggars can't be choosers. Thanks for the Q! :D

Seriously, if I've got this going out on radio 1:

W0YK 599 1234 1234 W0YK

And this coming in on radio 2:

KS7AA 599 789 789 KY0W

They're gonna match up better time-wise. And if I'm call stacking I often
don't mind if the station on the other radio runs a little long.

Cheers! - jeff wk6i
