[CQ-Contest] CUT NRS

[Rex Maner]

Quacks
I have my problems with cut numbers,  I get a lot of them from JA's and find
when I'm getting tired I will type A93 for the SN ,  I haven';t had to deal
with it as much from EU as I usually only get to try to run them for 30
Minutes at rates of 30 per hour. (so I just go back to S an P mode )  The
only place I can find a freq to try to run EU is above  28.150 and then not
good rates.
