[RTTY] 559 instead of 599

[walt at hawaii.rr.com]

Hi All,

I typically fill in all the static parts of the macro rather than use shortcut characters, mostly because I can't remember them all and would need to look them up at the start of each contest. 

Once I had "AH60Z" in my CQ macro, TWICE. Chen called me to point out that I had a "0" (zero) instead of an "O" (oh) and he was having a hard time filling his call field. Looked good to me ;-)

73 es Aloha,

Walt
AH6OZ

Once I was in a hurry and used "AH60Z" in my CQ macro
