Well, that IS what I said.  Lots of complaints here about ineffectiveness
of cut numbers with QSB or QRN or QRM or weak signals.  I have not
encountered that.  I have gotten cut numbers only from loud signals.

Maybe that's because I don't make enough QSOs  :>)

(I still think Real Contesters will learn to read cut numbers (when used
under appropriate condx), especially if it's from 4Q2OM and the need he Sri
Lanka mult.)
