[RTTY] Why send 599 report

[Ktfrog007 at aol.com]

The simplest challenging thing to send is just a serial number.  In  the 
upcoming WPX contest, dump the obligatory and meaningless 599 and keep  all 
else the same.
 
Serial number contests are my least favorite, actually.  I hate it in  CW 
contests when EUs come back at me with 50 WPM cut numbers.  What was  that?
 
Or you could mandate true signal reports.  Long ago people did send  more 
or less accurate RSTs.  I have really old CQ WW contest logs with lots  of 
569s and 579s.  The problem is that with modern equipment, amps and good  
antennas many stations really are 599.

JARTS one is  good.  Keeps your interest up watching for what is coming  
up,  instead of mindlessly clicking on it.  And get a chuckle from the   
bashful 00 that are sent :-).
