G'day Rik et al...,
In theory there is no need for these 'gaps', but a series of tests (mainly
conducted by DF8ZR, DF6NM and me) showed that these small 'gaps' had 2
advantages :
1. It eases the reading of characters with a series of dots or dashes (eg.
O, S, J, 5 etc...)
In VFSKCW version 3 I have included a menu option to wobble consecutive dots
or dashes (selectable 10% or 20% of main offset) to help the reading of such
characters.
