If you worked CT1BOH you surely appreciated his signal report ENN
for 599. :-)

It's not only a question of saving time.

It is incredible how many ops missed my last letter "H".
Many of you just copied IK4WM, maybe thinking the last char was not
a letter but the first number of the 599 report.

I was forced to do something to correct that, so I choose to speed up
the 599 report and I also added a half-length space between the call and the
report just to make clear where the call stopped and where the report
started.

Speaking of cut numbers, I didn't use them.
