This is a problem in many contests and here is at least one answer to it.

This happens a few times each contest. His report of 599nil or maybe 599000
to make your logger work should be a good contact. I remember several years
ago in my 160 single band ARRL SSB entry I worked FK8CP and I got a report
but no power. I put the Q in the CT log and used 000 as the power. Be sure
to make a note on the summary sheet about the Q for the contest checkers.
ZK1DI is in South Cooks but is heading for ZK3 later this year.
