[CQ-Contest] WPX SN...has to be a better way!

[hank k8dd]

Couldn't    RR3   maybe be mistaken for     TT3   under QRN or QRM?
Or   NN3      Or TN3     Or NT3

I'd vote for the whole number without the 5NN   (or K8MR's 4NN)  preceding
it.
And no cut numbers on the repeat request.

73    Hank    K8DD
