CW RST Reporting
It is very common to send RST reports in abbreviated form. RST 599 can be sent as 5NN. N is used in place of the number 9.
Another time saver is using a long T in place of the number 0 as in "POWER HR IS 3TT WATTS".
A number code exists for all numbers with N and T codes most common ones. CW stations sometimes report zones as A4 or A5 instead of sending 14 or 15.
| 1 = A | 2 = U | 3 = V | 4 = 4 | 5 = E |
| 6 = 6 | 7 = B | 8 = D | 9 = N | 0 = T |
