[RTTY] WPX suggestion

[Alejandro XE1EE]

Agree on eliminate the 599, is not needed; including on real signals of 333 everyone sends 599 because is part of the macro we send.

However if this is stated on the rules (RST plus serial number) we must send it, or we can earn a yellow card or anything we don’t like to receive.

OOPS... I forgot that as your number goes up, the number of leading zeroes
go down.

So it wouldn't be 4000 extra zeroes, only a few till you get to 100 and
then no more.

No wonder I never win these things.  :-)

But by the same token, how about eliminating the useless 599? Since this
would be saved both transmitting and receiving, now you're talking some
real savings.
