Paul,
599, or more accurately 5NN has been the default signal report for at
least the 35 years that I have been contesting / DXing and probably goes
back even longer than that.
I think it might be more accurate to say that CT followed the de facto
standard of logging 599 as the sent RST instead of causing it.
