I'm assuming if a serial number or zone were being sent instead of power,
it would show up in his log. Hopefully those stations send in their logs.
I had a couple odd ones. One station sent "105" to me but he was sending
that to everyone. Just being different I guess ...
One station sent "999". He actually sent "5NN NNN". Again, the same
thing. It makes the contest a little more fun!
