Bill,
I agree with you. There has to be something exchanged, otherwise one
could just copy calls and say they were contacts! There will always be those
who want to harvest the crops without planting the seeds.

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.

Why not do away with sending 599 when all the logging programs put in for
