[CQ-Contest] The Insanity of Cut Numbers in Serial Number Contests

[Jukka Klemola]

"NR?" promotes cut numbers. It is an abbreviation.

Sending "number?" might help.
If not, sending "the number please?" might deliver the message even better?

What I find pretty insane is sending "73" in a contest.
Both CW and SSB - makes negative sense to me.

In case of any static or whatever QSB, at least I will ask "what seven"


73,
