Point of clarification - the ARRL rules about QSO numbers only apply to what
is logged. They do not apply to the method used to send those numbers.
Think of the cut numbers as a type of transport encoding, just as the data
for a photo is encoded when exchanged as email. There are lots of ways to
send sound patterns by Morse code that result in a QSO number being entered
in a log. For example, I could also spell out "five nine nine" in text or
even "v ix ix" if I wanted. As far as adjudication of the logs goes, how
you get the number from point A to point B doesn't matter as long as the
transmissions are within the rules of (a) your license and (b) the contest.
