This got me wondering.
Ok, with callsigns valid or invalid, like many 'work first, worry later'.
BUT, with JT65 a signal report is '000', think every one is pretty happy
with that.
But I go to CW (trying to re-learn after 30+ years) and I get a 5NN report.
Is that valid ?.
Do not seem to see anywhere were NN replaces Report and Tone.
Maybe the CW guys are also making invalid QSO's.
