So why bother with sending reports in contests if they are meaningless, Dave? I remember as a new young licensee in the 1950s we used to work in contests to get reports to see how well we were getting out. One of the contest rules of the day was that any station consistently getting tone reports less that 9 could be disqualified. Those were the good old days. Since then the world has gone mad.
If everyone is 599, why not just "NR 001" etc ? I have to admit that on the rare occasions I work contest stations my reports are not always 5NN. They could be 5DN or even 5BN. 73 David In a recent message, David Wilburn <[email protected]> writes > >Everyone is 59(9) in a contest. There are keyers out there that >handle serial numbers.
