[CQ-Contest] Leading Zeros

[Mike Wetzel]

Are some of the newer programs using leading zeros (002) in the serial
numbers?  I find it harder to copy these numbers because you think you
missed a leading dit especially on weaker stations.  Is there an advantage
to this?  To me it is a disadvantage and maybe this should be an option
(with the default no leading zeros), if so can people request this of  the
developers.

Thanks
