The question of dashes or no dashes in an exchange has been debated
endlessly for years and years. 

Here's how to settle it for yourself:

Do two contests, one with the dash like this:  599-123-123
and one without, like this: 599 123 123

And see which style causes more requests for a repeat. My experience,
and that of many others, is that the style with spaces only will get
through the QRM and QRN better and things will go faster. 

Try it in a real contest and see. 

73, Bill W6WRT
