Gee whiz. In CQWWDX, the ONLY thing you (essentially) asked to do is to
COPY
THE CALLSIGN [for the majority of cases, the zone is determined by
callsign].
Either you copied the callsign or you didn't copy the callsign...PERIOD.
The only reason why anyone should bother to look at SCP is the LATTER case.
If you knock out COPYING the callsign yourself, then what is left of HUMAN
competition? The only thing REQUIRED is to accurately copy AND accurately
log the call/exchange (depending on the contest). Computers should be used
for "housekeeping" functions, but NOT to replace the human skill which is
the
basis of the competition.
