I don't recall it always being that way. I seem to remember that once upon
a time it was standard procedure to give a real signal report, particularly
for Field Day, and I seem to recall that Sweepstakes used a serial number
that simulated a message preamble and that part of the exchange was the RST.
But that was in the days when hams built transmitters too... and most phone
was AM.
