[WriteLog] Numbers in WPX

[Don Hill AA5AU]

Hi Dick. I don't always use %1. For XE RTTY, I used %3.

Yes, it starts out 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10... then when it gets to 100
it sends 100 and when it gets to 1000, it sends 1000.

Many of the contests that have serial numbers in the exchange, specifically
say "3 digital serial number starting at 001" in the Rules. So technically,
everyone should start with 001. However, as far as I know, none of the
contests have penalized anyone for sending 1, 2, 10, 99, instead of 001,
001, 010, 099.

73, Don AA5AU

Don, I've alwaysused %3 for numbers in a contest. I read that you use %1.
What happens when you get into double digits and triple digits?  Does WL
send, for example, 19 and when you get into 3 numbers does it send (i.e.)
101 or whatever the 3 digit number is next?
