No, not at all.
We all know that it's going to be "599" and, in fact, most logging
software will add that whether it was received or not, but it's still
a rule.
Since it's meaningless when transmitted, I'd rather see sponsors add
another piece of info. The BARTG spring already requires UTC, which
is cool, so why not substitute another bit of info for RST? Or just
drop it.
But you're right, the rules say to send RST so you have to send RST.
