I used to give out "real" S-reports during contests. Too often that confused
the other op who then asked for repeats. That slowed down the whole
exchange.

I finally defaulted to "599" even though the only contest contacts I made were entirely by hand key. It just didn't seem polite to confuse the other
guy going for the big score...

I guess I really disagree with this, Ron. I kind'a think the guy who'd be confused by that doesn't deserve a big score. After all, it indicates he is not capable of doing what is being asked by the contest rules. So why should he do well in the contest?
