Solutions are obtained by integrating the Teukolsky equation written as a first-order in time, coupled system of equations, in a form that explicitly exhibits the radial characteristic directions. We follow the propagation of generic initial data through the burst, quasi-normal ringing and power-law tail phases. Future results may help to clarify the role of black hole angular momentum on signals produced during the final stages of black hole coalescence.3 pages LaTeX using sprocl.sty, 1 figure, to appear in: Proceedings of the 18th Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics (eds Olinto, Frieman and Schramm, World Scientific)General Relativity and Quantum CosmologyDynamics of spin-2 fields in Kerr background geometriestext
