Why would you want to? The serial number does not affect score, it is just
a piece of info exchanged between stations.
For that matter, SS rules do not prescribe that the numbers start at "1",
only that they need to be sequential.
"4. Exchange: The required exchange consists of:
4.1. A consecutive serial number;
4.2 ..........."
Let's say I sent 905 exchanges in last years SS Phone. No rule says my
first contact next weekend can't be serial # 906.
"Everything not specifically prohibited is mandatory."
