Same question/request goes to the log checkers! Or how else would such a
thing happen? ;-)

This is the corresponding audio recording:

Definitely copied correctly (my contest software defaulted to 4, had to
change it manually to 5) but the log checking software had it wrong! Not
that it would have made a big difference in the final ranking but still
there's some potential ... ;-)

Yup. I haven't lived in zone 5/PA for 7 years, and still see quite a
few miscopied zone/state errors in my LCRs. I am listed as a
zone/state exception in the SCP file. How hard is it to update it at
least once a decade? :-)

A major congratulations of the CQWW crew for getting out the 2015
CQWW CW (and SSB) results out in such a timely manner!
My log checking report was a very interesting reflection of the role
of computers in today’s contesting world. I operated QRP from our new
winter QTH in Florida (actually at a waterfront park, not our condo).
But to the computer world, I’m in zone 4, presumably back in Ohio.
Out of my 536 valid QSOs, 196 “copied” me in zone 4! An additional
six guys who miscopied my call also put me there.
I expected a lot of such errors, as I could tell from the rhythm of
the QSO that a lot of people had not taken the extra second to type a
“5”. But the number of miscopies, or more precisely non-copies,
greatly exceeded expectations.
I’ll be back in zone 4 in another week, so don’t move me permanently
to zone 5. Just copy what I send !
