In reply to John K3TN's comment
> A few months ago, after remotely opping OZ5W as part of a MM in the
SAC CW and running into cut numbers in variable serial numbers, I
reached out to the ARRL, WPX and CA QP test to recommend prohibiting
cut numbers in non ST exchange fields.
Saw them quite a bit in the 10M ARRL this past weekend.

Unless there are contest-committee-appointed monitors listening to each
QSO, it would have to be enforced at the grass-roots level. If we would
all ask for a repeat from any station sending a cut number, and again
until they send the full number, the practice might end rather quickly.
I encountered a few cut number exchanges which threw me for an instant,
and thought about asking for a repeat.
