I have been, and still am, a paid-licensed, user of RITTY.

Upon the suggestion of a friend I set up WL/RITTY to check out the
combination.
I normally run RITTY is FSK mode on my MP.
You need the latest version of Writelog and latest version of RITTY.

I started Writelog and prepared for the upcoming RTTY contest selecting
RITTY as the tnc.
While testing the ptt port I set a buffer to send just the word
'Testing'.
Put the MP on the dummy load.
Hit the buffer F key.
It printed the word 'testing' on the screen and I could hear through the
monitor the sounds being transmitted.
After a couple of tests I got a surprise.
I found an Easter Egg embedded.

To see the Egg, do what I did and set up a buffer with just the word
'Testing'. and transmit that buffer 11 times in succession.
Do not send any other buffer or keystrokes.
