[RTTY] Upside-down RTTY contest QSO's

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

Yes, an operation error. N1MM+ only moves the cursor into the RST 
field(s) if you use the *TAB* key. The operator should be using the 
*SPACEBAR* key to move between the call sign and the (unique) exchange 
fields. There is no need to pass through the RST fields with the cursor 
during a contest.
