I copied these tips from Dan Street K1TO on the FCG List: - Bill W2CQ


"Since the DX St will be sending a number to indicate their power, and since 
many will be abbreviating that to save precious seconds, here are a few 
common cut numbers to watch for:

T = 0
N = 9
A = 1
A few (mostly JAs) will use U = 2
And a few less will use E = 5
K = 1000

So if you hear ENNK, you'll know how to log it!  Which reminds me - do NOT 
log the letters that are sent, except the K.  The log checking software will 
kick out reports that you log that are not an exact match.

Anyone else with advice for this weekend?
