[UK-CONTEST] CT exchange for serial numbers

Hi;

I was discussing using CT with a friend of mine last night, which prompts a
question

I usually run CT for this; in WPX mode since we issue serial numbers.

I never know the best settings to use in CT for this.

If I use the default (5NN #)  then it actually sends 5NN 1   etc.   So I
usually modify this to pad it with the leading zero's with some T's  (5NN
TT#). Then, I have to remember after the 9th QSO to remove one of the T's.
Same after the 99th QSO.

If I chose the -LZ line switch at the CT commend line; then my leading
zero's are full length ones - 001   instead of TT1. CWABBREV would send TTA,
which I don't want either (confuses too many people)

Am I missing something, or is this exactly right?

I Know TR can do the right thing; what about SD?
