I do understand why during contest and such that 59 or 599 is used for 
every contact.  It just makes everything uniform for logging and log 
submitting to the contest sponsors.  During ragchews or more informal 
QSO's i really appreciate a proper signal report.  Lets me know in what 
directions i need to improve my transmitted signal.  Although i have had 
QSO's abruptly ended i assume because i didn't provide a 59 or 599 when 
that is what i received.  Oh well many more important things to worry 
about than that i guess.  73
