The log-checking will not bust you for a bad RST.

We have to send it because it is in the rules.

Disclaimer: I didn't receive the original message, so I don't know which contest this is in reference to, however...

This is not the case for ARRL events.

According to: http://www.arrl.org/contests/announcements/rules-all.html

3.2.All callsigns and exchange information must be sent, received, acknowledged and logged correctly by each station for a complete QSO.

Thank you ARRL!  BRAVO!

If your ARRL 10 Meter contest log shows a QSO with W2EV and a received RST of "59", it is a bust.  Nobody got that report from me.

Ev, W2EV
