[CQ-Contest] CQWW - signal reports history

[James Headrick]

The signal reports given in 1959 DX Contests had variety.  One page of my 
log shows W3CPB getting reports that ranged from 339 to 589.  Also I notice 
that the reports I gave out were biased toward 579.  Since I had no S-meter 
my reports were very subjective.  In 1959 all of the W3CPB operation was 
hunt and peck so how the competition compared signal-strength-wise was a 
useful output.  If that isn't clear , I did not get everybody on the first 
call.   I don't have any logs covering the transition to computer 
logging,  '59 is the most recent data point.
