[GreenKeys] another RTTY newbie Question

[Don Cunningham]

Russ,
I'm probably too old fashioned in this "contest era" of RTTY, but I 
always send CQ several times, my call at least 3 times and send a line 
or two of CQ's.  This in deference to my Teletype friends.  If I 
remember to do it, I set the margins to machine width so my "glass RTTY" 
doesn't mess up machines.  Just old guy here though.
73,
Don, WB5HAK
