It was not doing this in the 10M contest this weekend. I STRONGLY feel that cut numbers beyond N and leading zeros should be banned from serial numbers. Perhaps we should be not logging QSOs that include them as a protest. What the lids who use them fail to realize is that sending real numbers helps a lot under marginal conditions, and have the chutzpah to think that their signals are not subject to the same auroral flutter that they hear on ours, especially failing to slow down when it's present. They also fail to realize that many of the stations they need to work have noise limitations that put their big signals in the mud.
