[Elecraft] RTTY tail

[Jim N7US]

I think being able to send RTTY with a paddle is very cool, but I don’t think I'm the only RTTY contester who is frustrated when it's done in a contest.  A contest program such as N1MM+ is free and works so well, and you won’t break the stride of the station you're calling.

Using a paddle to send RTTY is a novelty or maybe appropriate if it's the only way to work a needed DXpedition, but my personal wish is that it wouldn't be used in RTTY contests.

The prosign works but it seems to be very sensitive to proper cw timing. I have found a workaround to this is to slow down the keyer speed. It is finicky at contest speeds but if I drop down to 20-23 wpm, I find it reads the prosign much more consistently.

Works perfectly well! Just give it as one single sign, i.e.    ..--  with no pauses in-between. It's all about timing ...
