Just send in what you copied, Hank.  No need to change the cut numbers to
real numbers.  

I'm wondering what's going to happen to logs of the DX op who sent "2k" as
his power.  If he was being honest about his power level, he exceeded both
his country's and the contest's rules. 

Also, for Gary, AL9A, WriteLog does allow alpha characters in the exchange
field in ARRL DX.
