[WriteLog] Suggestion for Upcoming ARRL RTTY Contest

[Dick Thompson]

I would like to put forth a suggestion to those who are entering the
ARRL RTTY Contest, especially the newer people.  
 
The report that you send is a signal report & State or Province or
Country (S/P/C).  Please don't send 599 Mich if you are in Michigan.
Send 599 MI.  There is no need to spell out your state/province.  Just
use the standard 2 letter abbreviation.  I don't even know why a 599
needs to be sent.  Everybody knows they will get a 599 even if they have
to repeat the exchange a dozen time.  Hi Hi.  It would be nice if the
managers of a contest would do away with signal reports completely,
since nobody ever gives anything other than 59(9).  Hi Hi.
 
Good luck in the contest, guys.  Hope to see you there.
