What is RST code in ham radio signal report?
How can I tell if my ham radio signal is good?

What does 5NN mean on RST signal report?
- In this case, the RST signal report may be sent as "RST is 5NN". This reporting system may also be used for phone operation by leaving out the Tone (T) portion of the report. For example, a signal of "5 9" means that the phone signal is Readability 5, and Strength 9; a perfectly readable and extremely strong signal.
