[Elecraft] OT: CW Contest logging question

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

They are sending NN deliberately because it's two characters vs. ATT and
three characters. So for a complete exchange you hear ENNNN which is 599
99. It's possible to hit a rate of 300 with an exchange of ENNNN.

They're sending NN because they mean 99, not 100, and 99 is in their
Cabrillo. Logging 100 will blow the exchange in log checking.

73, Guy K2AV
