My oddest number/power award goes to the guy who sent "67". Which I, being an
old fart, still don't understand.
I did send someone an RST of 5NN K. I doubt that he understood what I was
telling him.

you want to be remembered, why not send a non-599 RST, too?
The dumbest of all was the oddball cut number 5NN NAA. Really?
------------------
I had one well-known station send me a power level of 9w on 40m, 15m, and
10m. But on 20m, he gave me a power level of 10w. The answer, of course,
is that these were likely different ops, and we know they were operating
remotely. Clearly they didn't communicate with each other to agree on what
power level to send, because as I recall the ARRL requires a DX station to
send the same power level on all bands.
Actually, I thought the power level of 911 was kind of cute. Matter of
fact, I did this contest many times LP from the DX side and always sent my
power as "NN". It's quick and really easier for the other station to copy
than "100".
Just my 2¢ worth.
