Re: [RTTY] Decoder performance on crowded bands

Why do RTTY ops even put a "cq" at the end of their cq message?

CW ops never put a CQ at the end (except for a few newbie 
converts from RTTY).  45 Baud RTTY is 60 wpm, a lot faster than 
contest CW, so it's not like we had to wait so long for the call 
sign that we forgot that it was a CQ.
Since RTTY Skimmers are increasingly powerful and popular, and 
are getting confused by the cq at the end, maybe it's time to 
just drop that final cq.
