[RTTY] 559 instead of 599

[Ktfrog007 at aol.com]

Hi,
 
Do you think it's possible these stations just made a typo in their  
macros?  Typing 559 by accident instead of 599.  
 
I don't know all the ways of generating macros.  I use MMTTY by itself  and 
when setting up my macros I often put 599 directly in them (rather than  
using %r) plus whatever the exchange is for the contest.  I can see myself  
fumble-fingering my way to 559 and not noticing it.

Hello  Shelby,

You are right, I believe we missed each other in this  Contest.

Regarding the "599", I received "559" a couple of times.   Logged the
received RST as 559.  Wondering if the log he(they) sends  in will list the
sent RST as 559?  The RST was definitely 559 as made  sure the signal was
solid copy before making the change to the log.   Will be interesting to 
find
out what the log checking program has to say  regarding the unusual RST
value.

Hope you and your family have a  healthy and prosperous 2011,  Shelby.
