I would like to put forth a suggestion to those who are entering the
ARRL RTTY Contest, especially the newer people.
The report that you send is a signal report & State or Province or
Country (S/P/C). Please don't send 599 Mich if you are in Michigan.
Send 599 MI. There is no need to spell out your state/province. Just
use the standard 2 letter abbreviation. I don't even know why a 599
needs to be sent. Everybody knows they will get a 599 even if they have
to repeat the exchange a dozen time. Hi Hi. It would be nice if the
managers of a contest would do away with signal reports completely,
since nobody ever gives anything other than 59(9). Hi Hi.
Good luck in the contest, guys. Hope to see you there.
Dick - WB0DUL
