[CQ-Contest] "Please copy my number"

[Milt Jensen]

How about "copy" to get you ready for the number, and "check" to get you
ready for the next number?  I find that many operator's VOX does not pick up
for the full first syllable.  I find the above method gives some body and
direction to the SS exchange.  Mis dos centavos, de Milt, N5IA
