Why not remove a useless ENN, 5NN or 599 at all? RAEM contest has already
realized this, adding a relatively complicated long/lat message instead.
I do not "buy" the argument that 5NN is a "get ready" message....
Remove RS(T) at all from test messages. Useless addition that gives no
value.
Time to think "out of the box" and focus on what is important - and what is
not...
My 2 cents ...
