[UK-CONTEST] Redundant contest reports

[Andy GD0TEP]

In VHF contests, I've always sent real reports, and for the most of it have
received what sounds like real reports.

I've used SDV for what seems like an age and found that altering the
standard 59(9) to what I've sent or received isn't an issue.

I guess what is required on HF is something different, perhaps try sending
real reports for a change.

>From a VHF contest viewpoint, differing strength reports are very useful:

If I give a report of 59 and send my information just once, that is how I
expect the recipient to behave.

However if I send 52 and give my details carefully, twice, that is my prompt
to the other party to behave likewise. It often works.

Best of all it avoids the stupid "you're 59-14, please all again" !

To defend N1MM

If you tab from field to field when logging, the cursor drops on the S part
of the reports, making it extremely easy to change it from the default 9. In
VHF contests I always use that approach as I try to give some sort of
strength indication on my outgoing reports.
