[RTTY] 599 Log Reports?

[John Barber GW4SKA]

Yes, it's unnecessary, wastes bandwidth and most important wastes time in 
the contest exchange. That was the reasoning when the rules were written.

The actual reference  "Logs must not include any 599 signal reports." 
relates more to the correct Cabrillo format for logs. In the case of the 
BARTG Sprint contests the log exchange should only contain the serial 
number, not RST and serial.
