I did go into my log and converted the 'NN' to 99;
Back when I was learning CW and ham radio, I was taught to copy what
is sent. I still do that, and that's what goes in my log. If he sends
ATT, I log ATT. If he sends 1K, or 1KW, that's what i log. If he sends
NN, I log NN. When I'm copying JAs, I make allowances for language
when he sends 1oo and log 100. Several years ago, a lot of JAs were
getting really strange with cut numbers for power, and I refused the Q
if they wouldn't send me real numbers. Thankfully they have gotten the
word.
Cut numbers are for lids. I put up with ENN for 599, because the
report is an anachronistic placeholder. But the structure of Morse
numbers provides some redundancy (in the form of spacing) to reduce
errors, and I refuse to give up that redundancy. I'm the one who gets
dinged if I copy his exchange wrong.
