[WriteLog] International DX Cut Number Exchange

[Barry]

Yes, they should be written as numbers.  The CW character is a symbol 
for an alphanumeric character.  The character it ultimately represents 
is what should be on paper, even if a cut number or some other abbreviation.

For a few years in the 70's I was the log checker for the NY State QSO 
Party.  I was very surprised to see 5NN written in some logs.

73,
Barry
