A couple of years ago, I operated Low Power in ARRL CW from P49Y. I had the
computer set to send "5NN ATT" as the exchange. But when I started getting
requests for repeats of the power, I concluded that ATT wasn't well
understood to mean 100, and changed it to 5NN 1TT, which worked much better.
But times do change. I noted this weekend that ENN for 599, which I think
CT1BOH originated, is starting to catch on more widely.
