[GreenKeys] Typing News Articles from the Beginning

[Tom Hunter]

I just made some fairly accurate measurements from RttyApp
by running my news tones into Cool Edit Pro and highlighting
the three things separating articles so I could give you this
hint with real numbers. Judging from the vanes on my model
15 the diddles are Letters characters.

This applies to ITTY and to my streams.

I hate to start printing in the middle of anything.

When I want to catch any file from the beginning, I listen
to the chatter of my selector magnets with the motor off.
Sometimes I have to rotate the motor a little by hand
until the selector is loudest.

A random chatter means something is still printing.
At some point there will be about four seconds of a
steady tick-tick-tick. That is the diddle signifying the end
of the current article. Then the selector will go quiet for
seven seconds of steady mark.That is when I turn on
my motor switch. After the steady mark  there will be
seven seconds of letters characters, then printing will
resume at the beginning of the next article.

 It looks so much neater and there is less wasted paper

I hope this may help somebody.
