Which contest is that for?

RS(T) is signal report.
In a contest always send "59" on phone and "599" on cw or digital.  ;)

YLISSB Number would appear to be a membership number for the organization sponsoring the contest.

For the YLISSB contests, you send signal report plus state (US) or province (VE) or country (everyone else) and if you are a Y>ISSB memeber, you send your member number. If you are not a member, you omit that last part.

So, I would send 599 MD, VE3KI would send 599 ON and G4PDQ would send 599 G. If any of us were members, we would add a member number.

If you work a member, write down their YLiSSB number in your log, they count extra - the scoring on this one is very complicated - full rules here.

Always fun to hear the YLs calling CQ and give them a contact. Have fun!
