Russell,
599 is the content of the message. Nice to have SOMETHING in the message
besides
just a serial number, which can be considered as message originator's serial
number. I agree that 599 is symbolic, as far as actual content goes. Our brief
contest exchanges represent essential pieces of a formatted messages, as
determined by the contest sponsor. Some contests don't use 599 but ask for your
name, section, club number, or whatever. A simple 599 for content is pretty
damn
popular, so watch out for whose toes you are stepping on there buddy. Hi hi.
73,
Bill N3XL

Subject: [RTTY] Why send 599 report
Why not do away with sending 599 when all the logging programs put in for you
anyway, its just a symbolic.
