[Cwo] WAE Serial Number

[Alan Maenchen]

I like the idea Hank.  It gives a way to do cross-contest QSOs which is a
win-win for both contests.

What's the difference between logging "000" and "599"?  For WAE, which
already has RST, then 000 makes sense.  For us, we need a NR and a NAME.
RDA uses serial numbers, so that was the easy part. The hard part was
getting a name from those guys.  Keyman uses RST and while I was willing to
log "599", I never did get them to give me a name. I even thought about
logging the JA prefecture as a name, but then thought that was pushing it
too far.

We'll have to see what weekend we end up with for the next one and try to
complement whatever other activity is going on.
