[CQ-Contest] Cut numbers and V47T SSB recordings

[Jim]

Phone contests using states -  one place where “Ohio” comes through very nicely. Much easier than “West Central Florida”.

A favorite phonetics story is about Jeff, K8ND, some years back, who would occasionally use  “Kilowatt Eight North Dakota” for his phonetics.

Calling in a pileup, the other guy comes back “stand by, everybody stand by, please only the North Dakota station!!”

Jeff comes back “QSL, this is Kilowatt Eight North Dakota, you’re five nine Ohio”.
