While we are on cut numbers, I'd (again) like to plead for hams to stop sending "J" for "1." That is fairly common among second tier European contesters. Some even have their computers set to send "J

You're quite right, John. If cut numbers are to be used, then they must be standardized. And they really should not be used for the vital part of a contest exchange; leading zeros excluded. 5NN is fi

Isn't D the common abbreviation for 8? If it's reasonable to use U for 2, it is certainly just as reasonable to use D for 8 (in both cases the sender is saving two dashes). And wouldn't consistency d
