[RTTY] 599 579 579

[Gary AL9A]

And the confusion also bit the poor soul who worked me and got "599 599 599" 
in his exchange.  He came back with "AGN AGN" and I went to the keyboard and 
manually typed "UR NR IS 599 599".  If he stuck around a little he would 
have seen me work the next guy as number 600 which hopefully made it clear 
too.

73,
