[Elecraft] VP6DX RTTY QSOs on the K3 -- without a computer

[T. David Yarnes]

Hopefully you won't think I "cheated", but I put a message 
in one of the memory cells  to use for calling.  Working a 
pile-up can get a bit tiresome sending by hand all the time. 
So I put "DE W7AQK W7AQK W7AQK K K K"  in memory to do my 
calling.  Then when VP6DX came back (after several tries) I 
retuned using the paddle.  I guess you could even put the 
sig report response in a memory, but I chose not to.

But I have a question!  At what baud rate does a message 
come out of memory on RTTY?  On CW its at the rate you have 
your keyer set.  So, should I turn the speed up on RTTY?
