I sent ONE leading zero for my first NINE Q's (e.g. 01 thru 09), just
to ensure that the receiving station didn't sit there waiting for a
second digit.
I personally don't believe in using leading zeros in situation other
than this specific scenario... UNLESS the contest rules specifically
state "3-digit serial..."... and I'm not aware of any which might do this.
I'll probably continue to send a leading zero (as above) in future
contests... hope those who don't like will learn to cope... or attend
anger management classes.. <G>
