[CQ-Contest] SS beefs WRAP-UP

[Dave]

My comment is in reply to Mark N5OT's statement:
> 1. leading zeroes are bad (in SS)

Context: I never take SS seriously.  I'll get on for a few hours later in
the contest.  When I make my first QSO, most others are a few hundred along.

Observation: I found sending "1 B VO1AU 75 NL" (or 2 or 3 or 15 or 70...)
resulted in a LOT of requests for fills or repeats on numbers.  Those
requests for fills and repeats diminished once I hit three-digit numbers.
When I send leading zeroes (usually as "T"s), I did not get asked for
repeats

Conclusion: SS is a cult, but a benign one.
