Ok I'm a RTTY novice and I contest very very casually but shouldn't RTTY
contesters know they shouldn't include dashes or other puncuation in the

There are cases where "-" are useful. For example, 599-05 is better than
599 05 because it avoids two shifts. Some software (maybe WF1B) likes to
see the - so it can separate information in the exchange. However, 5NN in
RTTY is just plain WRONG.
