[RTTY] CQ WW RTTY Questions

[Larry]

Item III of the rules shows by example rst cqz state (state/province 
only for US/VE) but one might argue that the order is not mandated. Only 
the exchange elements are mandated. There were many variations sent 
(e.g., rst state cqz, rst cqz cqz state state, rst rst state state cqz 
cqz,....).  I suspect the variations are more about which element an 
operator remembers first or thinks is important.

If you use USOS (unshift on space) then the order probably doesn't 
matter because you will get the ltrs and figs characters anyway.
