Yep. Mine was hearing a station, when asked to confirm his call, sent (by
way of example) "W...W...1...1...E...E...B...B...I...I" I'm sure this was
doubly informative.

Thank god! Maybe now we can start a new thread. This cut number whining
makes even True North sound profound.
My favorite ploy for testing the skill of the other contester - throw in
some extra characters in each CW contest QSO, and whenever possible, add
ambiguity.
For example 5NN1TT TU ... and for extra credit, run the TU in with the
power number.
Other fine examples from last weekend --
When S&P, be sure to send your own call before the exchange, even if the
other station got it right. Make the other person wonder.
When someone asks you to verify your power, or a serial number - like
"5W?" or "1239?" - never, never just send "R" - it's much more fun to
resend your power or serial number a few times, so he thinks he must have
miscopied, and so another station will come along and start CQing on the
frequency while you're sending all that.
Lessee... there must be more favorites out there.
