Most send 599 state zone by convention and because the major logging programs
show them in that order.
Keeping numbers or letters together is not necessarily a good thing. It's to do
with the way RTTY changes from a set of letters to a set of figures and back
again. Keeping it simple, a change from one to the other can avoid a group of
characters printing as garbage.

Relatively new to RTTY … a little less than a year.
A CW WW RTTY question: Why were some NA Stations sending 599 state zone, while
I sent 599 zone state? I would have thought that keeping the numbers together
would be better for efficiency.
