[Elecraft] OT: CW Contest logging question

[Chester Alderman]

Thanks Mike. I did go into my log and converted the 'NN' to 99; however I
bet the person sending NN actually meant it to mean 100 watts!

73,

Sorry Tom but you lost me with that one. Why would you want to log 'NN' 
as 100? 'NN' is probably the original cut number (5NN) and I don't remember
seeing any indications of rounding up (i.e., 99 to 100) any numbers. Doubt
you would consider copying 5NN as 5100. Just curious.
