Oops. Yes, it's 599 in my RTTY macros. I've just manually sent 5nn in CW
so many times now when I think of RST, it comes out 5nn even when it's not a
cut character. ha ha.

REPLY:
Please don't send 5NN in place of 599. 5NN in RTTY requires an extra
LTRS shift that actually slows things down. It's not much, but over
hundreds or thousands of Qs it adds up. 5NN is fine for CW.
