The fact that almost no-one sends other than 599, no matter what the 
circumstance, can I think be blamed on K1EA, since CT led the way with computer 
logging and it doesn't let you log anything but 599 as the sent exchange.

Dave,

I'm not sure how long you've been around, but I know that long before the PC 
was invented, we had "5NN T5" programmed into memory keyers sending the same 
exchange.  Never mind that the CQ Log Sheets had space for other than a 599 
report, we never sent a different one anyway.

K1EA likely recognized that no one ever sent other than 5NN, so why complicate 
things?  He certainly didn't start this revolution.

Maybe WB4VVF is to blame?  (Any other OT's remember that callsign?)
