[RTTY] CQ WW RTTY Questions

[John Barber]

Most send 599 state zone by convention and because the major logging programs show them in that order.
Keeping numbers or letters together is not necessarily a good thing. It's to do with the way RTTY changes from  a set of letters to a set of figures and back again. Keeping it simple, a change from one to the other can avoid a group of characters printing as garbage.

Relatively new to RTTY … a little less than a year.  

A CW WW RTTY question: Why were some NA Stations sending 599 state zone, while I sent 599 zone state?   I would have thought that keeping the numbers together would be better for efficiency.
