[RTTY] 5NN

[Ed Muns]

Last weekend, in 19 out of 20 cases when I sent

NR?
NR?

I received an exact repeat of the original exchange message rather than just
the serial number I asked for.  Less than 5% of stations replied with only
their serial number when I asked for only their serial number.

BTW, when I am asked for a repeat, even if it is "AGN AGN", I only send the
serial number.  No one has ever insisted I resend 599 or their callsign.

If you ask for a repeat, you are likely to get a repeat of everything. But
if you specify what you want repeated, then you should only get that.
