[CQ-Contest] Check numbers again

[John Geiger]

Given that most contesters are used to copying 599 or
5nn in the exchange, would it be ok to use 599 as the
serial number for every QSO, as long as my log showed
that it was the SN sent for each QSO?  That should be
easier for people to copy as opposed to all different
sorts of serial numbers.
