[UK-CONTEST] cut numbers

[David, G3YYD]

Clive

May be but in contesting it is about making QSOs easier not more 
difficult for the receiving operator and one repeat is enough I am not 
going to waste time on some one who does not want to communicate easily 
and clearly with me. I would rather move on and spend the effort working 
another. The simplest way to do this is to send TU and move on as then 
he won't call me at another time and I will remember not to call him. 
Hard may be but effective. So if anyone does use cut numbers other than 
A,N & T, I suggest when asked for a repeat you send the numbers in full.
