If you use N1MM then N2AMG is very nifty with the programming. Click on 599001 when on the exchange window guess what no 599 appears... It is even clever on processing time exchange used for the BARTG March contest.

The 599001 001 is also deliberate as it forces a figs shift so if the 599001
is copied in letters shift (everyone knows TOO=599) then chances are they
get the second 001 correctly without having to do mouse over etc. So the guy
comes back faster and often avoids a repeat request.

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
