"59" is not a signal report. It is punctuation.Quote:

But you know what? If it troubles you, then when you work the other guy, give him an honest signal report. Frankly, I do it... and sometimes it throws the other op for a moment, because he (or she) wasn't expecting anything but the routine. The good ops, though, will log it and move on... and most will appreciate an honest report, even if it's unexpected.
Got em on 20,17, and 12.
missed some sarcasm. whoops
ive yet to hear them. and if I did doubt I could work them.
Thats the problem with my setup, i heard them a few times, but no other time. The piles were huge, i just couldnt break them. Gave it a good shot though.
