[CQ-Contest] no no no...it MUST be 579 (was 599)

[mike l dol dormann]

 My two favorite "contests" right now are SKCC and CX.  In both; 
seemingly accurate RSTs transferred. 

When I work a CQWW or an ARRL DX  from my house in Burien, WA, 90% of all
contacts are at an RST level of 339 to 459 at the max

my last DX pidition (ZK1DRA) 90% of all stations heard were 589 to 599+,
QRN zero, QRM unbelievable

But the 5NN has a long history, in 1953 at W7AW/7, some operators used to
give out "579 WASH" to all CW contacts
