[Elecraft] Long delay on RTTY sent with the paddle

[Wayne Burdick]

"..--" is easily remembered if you think of it as ".." followed by "--", or IM, for IMmediately terminate transmission.

We put the nominal delay at 4 seconds to give the operator time to think during longer transmissions. You can always use what Linguistics majors call a hesitation form (what we call "BT", or "-...-".
