Please pardon what may be a stupid question, I'm still a bit new to this radio
hobby.

I'm curious as to how these two sentences belong together when they're talking
about the same contact. Isn't a 559 a perfectly readable, full scale signal
with no extraneous tones? If the 'Bird wasn't too strong here', at the most
that would be a 539 - right? 

Or am I missing something altogether here. Please help the newbie!

Thanks!
