[CQ-Contest] [N1MM] Re: New Contest Country Files - 23 October2005

[Pete Smith]

You could reasonably ask about the following scenario - someone gets on briefly- say 30 or 40 QSOs - and sends the wrong rare zone every time, but doesn't send in a log.  He shows up in 20-30 logs, all in the wrong zone.  Do those ops get penalized for correctly copying what he sent?  Or do they get the QSO but lose the zone credit unless they work another one who really is in that zone.
