[RTTY] dashes vs. no dashes

[Chuck Brudtkuhl]

Well, its been awhile since I've participated in RTTY contesting but am really puzzled as to why everyone is requesting a sig rpt of (e.g.) 599 04 vs. 599-04.  If my recollection is correct, we'd always include dashes to avoid sync errors or some such.  My recollection is that I'd be cursing those that used spaces, vs. those that used dashes.  Someone bring me up to speed?
