[Elecraft] [K3] Sending sequential serial numbers with the K3

[David Pratt]

So why bother with sending reports in contests if they are meaningless, 
Dave?  I remember as a new young licensee in the 1950s we used to work 
in contests to get reports to see how well we were getting out. One of 
the contest rules of the day was that any station consistently getting 
tone reports less that 9 could be disqualified.  Those were the good old 
days.  Since then the world has gone mad.

If everyone is 599, why not just "NR 001" etc ?  I have to admit that on 
the rare occasions I work contest stations my reports are not always 
5NN.  They could be 5DN or even 5BN.
