My recollection is that the entire list replaces all of the dashes in
the number with just a single dash, so T=0, A=1, U=2, V=3 and so forth
and there are no abbreviations for 4, 5, or 6 because none of them have
more than one dash in them. I was first exposed to more than "N is 9"
when I went to lcwo.net to scrub the rust of my CW skills several years ago.
Okay, doing some searching, the technique is called "cut numbers" and
the abbreviation for 7 is G and 5 is abbreviated as E.
Of course, the only ones that are commonly used are N and sometimes T.

The exchange for this contest is signal report and serial number. 5NN 001
Only thing I can think of is that once they pass 99 or 999, they use
the T for Thousand or something.

Bill,
"T" is for a "0"
"N" is for a "9"
These are the most used one's.

P.S. Have fun on CW.

My mind went blank as do not do much cw so in the CW WPX contest
many ops use letters for a number like T36...so as I forgot what
is the T for. What or where do I find the Dick Tracy CW decoder
chart to convert the letter to a # in the log
