I agree with everything (though the casual contester we all rely on may not
have clued in to TOO) but...

599 001 001

We like to click on the exchanges - 599001 means you have to type it when
the second 001 gets creamed.

Not the end of the world but it results in the operator taking more time
and interrupting rhythm. Time and focus I could spend on S&P on the other
radio for example. I'd rather have the extra shift character.

Have fun! 73 jeff wk6i
