Think about this from the sponsor's point of view:
1. They don't want to deal with a station sending a varying exchange.
It means they have to handle it in a special manner, i.e. ignoring
copying errors in the other stations logs because the sponsor can't
really be sure what you sent.
2. They are sponsoring a GAME, not some life-or-death exchange. It
doesn't matter very much whether what you sent corresponds to where you
were or what you were doing unless it confers upon you some special
advantage. Keep sending "Q".
3. When you submit your score, enter in the higher power class. It would
be unfair to the other participants to do anything else. Tell the
sponsor what you did and why you did it, and that you consistently sent
"Q", or whatever other wrong thing.
Be nice to sponsors. You aren't paying them.

In a recent November SS, I had a thought of running QRP or "Q" during the
contest... So I started working the contest and made 20-25 Qs. At this
point, I realized that I made a mistake in my Precedence selection.
Conditions were terrible and I desired to move to Low Power with precedence
of "A". I couldn't find an answer to this situation on website etc. So I
closed down my SS contest efforts...
Has anyone else experienced this problem and how did you handle it.
In many contests, you can move from QRP to Low to High and then enter your
log as the highest power... In the SS it's a bit different.
My questions:
Can I change precedence in the middle of the contest?
If I can, can I rework stations using the new precedence?
Am I starting a new contest with the new precedence?
Do I continue with "Q"?
