How do you enter a power of 50mW so the log checking software knows what
you mean???  

Life's too short for QRP!

AB0MV asked how the casual contester is to know where a TO# call is.

Good question.  You can't.  They're French.  After SECAM & yellow
headlamps, TO4T being in FG is to be expected - northern hemisphere,
southern hemisphere, this ocean & that ocean, I believe this makes the
third TO call I've seen in recent times & I've yet to figure it out.

WFWL & always log what the other station sends & not what you think
your logging program needs to see.

I logged him as "100MW".  Cabrillo didn't throw it out at least....

I was logging it as "0R1".  For any non-CW types, "R" is the
code for decimal point...as in "3R5 MHZ" for 3.5 MHz.  So I
would use "R05" for 50 milliwatts.  Don't know if this is 
totally acceptable but I've used it before with no problems
that I recall.
