Hopefully you won't think I "cheated", but I put a message in one of the memory cells to use for calling. Working a pile-up can get a bit tiresome sending by hand all the time. So I put "DE W7AQK W7AQK W7AQK K K K" in memory to do my calling. Then when VP6DX came back (after several tries) I retuned using the paddle. I guess you could even put the sig report response in a memory, but I chose not to.

But I have a question! At what baud rate does a message come out of memory on RTTY? On CW its at the rate you have your keyer set. So, should I turn the speed up on RTTY?

Several of us have worked Dulcie Island (VP6DX -- seven K3s!) in RTTY mode using the K3's CW-to-RTTY feature. This would be an auspicious occasion to give it a try, if you haven't already. It's quiet easy to do, as explained in one of our Operating Tips. See:
