Worked a CW contact from GTA, giving out serial numbers that begin with T. Mine was T76, N1MM+ only accepts numbers. What's the T?? 1000?

T = short form of zero 0
like N = short form of 9

RST 599 = 5NN

number 076 = T76

Thanks...

Me=CW n00b:
I worked 17 CW contacts this one.
Didn't have much time for The Chair.

First ever CW contacts...

Steve, they're called "cut numbers" and N1MM accommodates them:

2.1. Function Keys Field Descriptions

Send leading zeros in serial numbers - Send leading zeros to make into 3 digit number. In CW: Select leading T with the Cut Number Style selector. RTTY: In RTTY zeros will be added, so 1 will become 001
Send cut numbers - In CW this causes serial numbers, and RSTs if you are using the {SENTRSTCUT} macro, to be sent using the Cut Number Style set at the bottom of the dialog. Ctrl+G can be used to toggle this option while operating. The new status after toggling will be shown in the status line at the bottom of the entry window. Numbers other than serial numbers and {SENTRSTCUT} will not be affected by this option. This option does not apply to SSB or digital modes.

Thanks everyone for all the help. Didn't know the cut number thing on N1MM either.
