SSB the S means that modulation is scattered but signal and intelligibility of
signal is perfect. During CW contact there is normally no tone (perfect inline
scatter is exception) so instead of T in raport there are S for rain or snow
scatter or A for Aurora scatter. Yes, it is anomaly, because raports in SSB and
CW have both three fields.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

the SW writer for VHF contest community (EDI format correction wich has no MODE

<br>
I am trying the Win-test for European V-U-SHF contests.<br>
I have problem with logging a report like 59S or 59A . Those reports are used
during Rainscatter or Aurora propagations and must be logged correctly.<br>
<br>
How to do it? Is there anybody who knows it?<br>
<br>
TNX and 73! Karel OK2ZI<br>

This is the part from the IARU Region I. VHF managers handbook<br>

<br>
8.8.7 IARU Region 1 Technical Recommendation TONE REPORTS<br>
Vienna 2010<br>
<br>
TONE REPORTS<br>
In order to give an indication of distorted tonal quality due to special
propagation modes, the 1-9 scale of<br>
the Tonality (T) component of the RST reporting system will be extended with
the following:<br>
<br>
"a" For signals distorted by auroral propagation<br>
"s" For signals distorted by scatter propagation mechanisms<br>
"m" for signals distorted by multipath propagation.<br>
<br>
For example:-<br>
599 - Good signal<br>
58a - Fairly good Signal via Aurora<br>
59s - Good signal via Scatter (e.g. Rainscatter)<br>
<br>
Footnotes<br>
1. Other letters may be defined in future should the need arise<br>
2. This alternative system may be used for any mode e.g. CW, SSB, MGM etc<br>
