I've been a ham since 1956 and worked more than my share of contests. For as long as forever, RST was an integral part of the qso and exchange. In days gone by, RST had value, especially the R and T

RST still has value as a notifier in that what follows is what really matters, the exchange. With CW, your brain gets into the rhythm of 5NN, and makes it easier to decide what follows. Its even bett

I heard a station not too long ago with a particularly nasty sounding signal. Probably on SS. I gave them something like a 596 report, even when no RST was required. 73! Lee, AA4GA __________________

I feel honest RST is extremely important, because one ought to want to know if his station is having problems so he can get on the case. But if in contests it has become a formality, then I would pre

I think you're spot on with that comment, to me the 5NN in a CW contest serves the same function as the seven-byte preamble in an Ethernet frame. I'm lost without a 5NN and it took me a while to get

My very vague recollection is that, back in the 60's and early 70's, we DID send real signal reports in DX contests. I remember two operators puzzling over whether a UA9 sent 559 or 569 on 80 meters,

Tom, I suppose they DID check the top logs, which must have still been a huge job. Alas, I doubt any of the multi-multi efforts I did from W9YT way back then attracted any interest. In any case, you

Sweepstakes is a good example of no RS / RST. I also like a little warning rather then unkeying and being immediately blasted with a serial number. I sometimes did have to ask for a repeat because I

There are no VHF/UHF/microwave contests that I know of that require an RS(T) now. They all need an exchange of 4 or 6 character grid squares. Some people send a real RS(T) - not just 59(9) - for info

I don't think lack of a prelude to the SN is a problem in SS. It's a domestic contest, so most signals are fairly strong. If you're running QRP, working backscatter, etc., you can always send "NR" be
