Count me in as one who does not like the cut numbers.
If I hear "5NN ANTA," I always have to do a mental conversion
which wastes time and requires extra brain energy. I suppose
it must help some in really high rate situations (like N5KO
sending "5NN AT" from HC8N in CQWW.) For the WPX contest, I
found the cut numbers to be a nuisance. You'll always hear me
using full numbers in the WPX.
