Look at the first two rows of your keyboard.  You will find that W is 
diagonally below 2, I is diagonally below 9 and U is diagonally below 
7.  He has sent you QSO number 297.

Magic of Baudot LTRS shift and NUMS shift, and the Qwerty keyboard:-)

A '-' that some people put between numbers will come out as an A.

73 (or UE, among RTTY types :-)
