[Elecraft] Long delay on RTTY sent with the paddle

[David Cole]

Oh...  I have done CW too long...  When I saw your "_..._", I had to
think about what it was...  

As soon as I played it in my head, I knew...  I have noticed that of
late if folks ask me what a letter is, I have to think about it to give
them the actual dot/dash code, but if I hear it, it is just there...
