[WriteLog] CW keying - cut figures

[Tony Osman]

I dont think there is a way to send the numerals as cut letters.  If you put
the numbers in your buffer eg.  %C 5NN %3   it will send T characters for
leading zero's but zero for any within the number.

I still have an open verdict on cut numbers, too many repeats needed
especially in high qrm levels, the repeats offset the time taken to send the
full number.
