My very vague recollection is that, back in the 60's and early 70's, we 
DID send real signal reports in DX contests. I remember two operators 
puzzling over whether a UA9 sent 559 or 569 on 80 meters, not that there 
was any real log checking back then. I was inactive for a few years, but 
when I got back on the air in 1989, everyone sent 5NN. Does anyone 
remember when that changed?
