[CQ-Contest] DUMB CUT NUMBER

[Dale Putnam]

So.. when I go DX... qrp... with a recently certified wattmeter, I should send 5nn 4.3 or the next time 5nn 4.5  or 5nn 4.9 
in order to be accurate? Or ... have we shortened the exchange to the point of rediculous... although somewhat meaningful, 
I took the 100 watt stations... used the information, compared to the a, k, 1k, kw, and such to learn more about the props,
rather than shorten it to much more... if the idea is the test your typing skills... and your very own cw skill... then use the puter,
there are many programs that allow you to do such. If you are truely interested in radiosport... then a more rewarding 
approach, may include asking the sponsers to include more information in the exchange, to challange us... more, rather than 
less. In this particular situation, less... in absoluelty and unequivacably NOT more, in the long range BIG picture view.
  Step back, take a serious and long thoughtful approach at what we are really actually doing. With all...no.. all of the aspects
in consideration.--... ...--Dale - WC7S in Wy> Date: Sun, 17 Feb 2008 13:31:18 +0000> To: p.piercey at nl.rogers.com; b38 at hilding.com; cq-contest at contesting.com> From: k0xp at dandy.net> CC: nccc at contesting.com> Subject: Re: [CQ-Contest] DUMB CUT NUMBER> > At 08:07 AM 2/17/2008 -0800, PAUL PIERCEY wrote:> >Yeah, I worked him too but figured it was 1K.> >> >I did get a '2K' from a OM station.
