[RTTY] Why send 599 report

[W4LA at aol.com]

Bill,
 
I agree with you.  There has to be something exchanged, otherwise one  
could just copy calls and say they were contacts!  There will always be  those 
who want to harvest the crops without planting the seeds.  
 
73's,

Russell,
599 is the content of the message. Nice to have  SOMETHING in the message 
besides 
just a serial number, which can be  considered as message originator's 
serial 
number. I agree that 599 is  symbolic, as far as actual content goes. Our 
brief 
contest exchanges  represent essential pieces of a formatted messages, as 
determined by the  contest sponsor. Some contests don't use 599 but ask for 
your 
name,  section, club number, or whatever. A simple 599 for content is 
pretty damn  
popular, so watch out for whose toes you are stepping on there buddy. Hi  
hi.

73,
Bill N3XL

Why not do away with sending  599 when all the logging programs put in for 
you 
anyway, its just a  symbolic.
