Hi Steve,
Funny you mention that. I was thinking the exact same thing during
the contest. I would prefer 3.5 seconds. 2.5 is too short. Remember you have
to use your RIT to tune 200 hz. each side of zero to catch the guys who S&P
with the RIT on. Many folks call 200 hz. Takes that extra second to find
them. :-) By the way, I think 4 seconds is too long. Have to keep the
vulchers from swooping onto the qrg....
