May I suggest that we try to make the EQP contest unique among current contests by attempting to give actual (meaningful) signal reports. Because of the association of this content with QRP, the wholesale use of 5nn seems really quite out of place. It will also be good practice to those who haven't fully come to grips with the proper use of RST reports to learn to make snap judgments about a proper report. Those snap judgments are usually pretty good, often better than ones that get deeper consideration.

I agree with your suggestion of giving meaningful signal reports. I'd stay away from a shorthand report of serial number, though, because it might confuse someone casually dropping into the contest. The extra "K" and "SN" will take a small percentage of actual operating time.

Regarding your final comment:

Looking forward to getting some new s/n's, (there aren't any more states)....

I live in Northern Californis, which by all rights should be declared #51 ;)
