Dumb user mistake - slow transition between Tx and Rx

I noticed that I was sometimes losing the first character when people
responded to my CQ messages.  The receiver seemed slow to come back to full
sensitivity after transmit.

I thought about this for a while, then I went to my recorded CW messages and
removed the trailing blank I sometimes insert because I have in the past
wanted to chain messages.  The trailing blank caused N1MM/Winkey to hold
down the PTT for that extra character time.  When I removed the trailing
blanks from my recorded CW messages the return-to-receive was a lot
snappier...
