[CQ-Contest] Cut number advice

In SS CW, somebody sent me 3AA, and I was supposed to figure
out that it meant 31A! This is in a contest where logging
accuracy is critical. Other than 5NN, cut numbers are nuts.

Another bad idea is a bunch of leading zeros before a serial 
number. When signals are weak it's difficult to tell if they 
are really zeros or some significant digit.
