I'm glad we're again talking about 5NN signal reports. Single operator
assistance was getting a bit tedious, and it's not quite the season to be
discussing the proper CK for Sweepstakes.
Please note: there is nothing in an contest rules that say you have to send
59 or 5NN. There are just rules that say you have to send a signal report.
If you don't like 5NN, send a different signal report. I had fun in CQ160CW
honoring the San Francisco 49er's appearance in the Super Bowl by sending
499 (actually 4NN). I doubt that more than 10% of the several hundred
people I worked noticed the difference, or cared.
Fortunately for the contest world, the 49ers lost, so there is no need to
send 49 for the upcoming year.
