[Elecraft] OT: CW Contest logging question

[Milt -- N5IA]

IMHO the power level report is relative only, similar to the year first 
licensed in SS.

The main thing these ops are trying to do is SHORTEN the amount of time it 
takes to send the exchange.

IMHO, ....NN.... which indicates 99, which is REALLY close to 100, which is 
in the LP entry classification, is about the shortest power exchange you 
could use.  It also very recognizable in QRN/weak signal conditions.

When the send the traditional leader at 60+ WP, and then at somewhat less 
speed for the power exchange, the NN is very recognizable.

To me this is exactly like the HP boys are doing when they use ....K.... as 
the only indicator of HP operation.

Mis does centavos, de Milt, N5IA

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!

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.
