Rule #12 (if I didn't miss one that someone appended to Bill's 
posting):

Never, never, NEVER screw up the spacing in your call.  If you use 
standard Morse spacing, the receiving station can often recover dits 
that are inaudible, by listening to the timing of the characters.  For 
some reason, people think the call is easier to copy if they leave 
exaggerated spaces between letters.
