In the CQWW rules it stipulates clearly that one
has to exchange "RS/RST report plus zone".
Why not play by the rules? In this case you
clearly should have been DQ´ed.
You might call it a irrelevance or what ever but
rules should be followed. If you start to bend
the rules like this where will it end? However
this isn´t even rulebending, it´s a clear case
of not following the rules.
In the future I hope this rule will be enforced.

To me, 59(9) probably leads the ranks of the most trivial
of items to protest.
Looks like we'll have to agree to differ on this.
The fact is that you no longer have to send RST in CQWW.
I didn't, I wasn't DQ'd (after all, the software I used
defaulted to 59(9) sent and logged for every QSO) and
that's the way I intend to continue.
In CQWW, and the other major contests, RST is not cross-
checked. Log anything you like and you'll not lose points.
It's an irrelevance.
Those who prefer to send 59(9) in every contest QSO may
continue to do so. I prefer not to.
