I've given out a few 598C or 557AC rst's over the years.
30 yrs ago, 95% of ops knew exactly what I was telling them.
Sadly, I think it must be closer to 5% that know what I am telling them
nowadays.

As a matter of fact...
We have that 'uselss' "T" hanging out there on the end of RST (for CW
ops). One year while on the way to Field Day a component lead broke in
the bias supply filter in my transmitter. My first two contacts gave me
a zero for the T and I retired the transmitter for the weekend. We
really should mention it if we observe a problem. Hams should not feel
offended if they get a report like that and reporters should be matter
of fact about it and not insulting. My experiences with incidents like
that are much better than what has been described in this thread.
