Sorry, I said zones when I should have said states.
During my first rtty contest I sent '599 03' as a macro for my report. My
second contact reported that I was sending '599 PE' so I changed the macro
to '599-{EXCH}' and had no futher problems.
During the CQWW DX RTTY contest I received several '599 ZZ SS' with wierd -
very wierd - states.
Two q's I made note of were N2QP and KW3W (hope you guys are reading this)
and then during a lull in my rate I went to QRZ.com for the correct state.
But when I went back into my log to make the correction neither call is
there. So rather than break my run rythm with repeats or guesses I must
have just acknowledged the qsos and then deleted them. How many times did
this happen? Maybe a dozen times out of 1284 contacts?
Or maybe I remembered that I am not supposed to make changes to my log after
the contest.
Never did I receive a wierd zone or state when the hypen was present.
Don't know or care what the difference is but if it ain't broke - don't fix
it.
