You should log what is sent.

When a "Sunday driver" guy calls me in the contest from DJ and  sends me
5901 instead of 5914, that clearly is wrong. You're saying that I should log
it as 5901 and not make the correction?

We had a  very good example of this in CQWW SSB.  7O2A was on the air  from
Socotra Island in Yemen.  He clearly sent zone 37 for every QSO,  but many
operators went with the default zone filled in by their logging  software
(21)...  and lost the multiplier.

I saw this on the NBC Nightly News today  (Nov 19) and the analogy to
contesting immediately became  apparent.

Of course, nobody dies using automation to work  DX.

As one local in NJ put it, "Search and Pounce" has become  "Pounce."
