[CQ-Contest] Log-checking and RST [was: cut numbers]

[N4XM Paul D. Schrader]

Careful Ev.

I have been told that I don't have to have a multiplier correct.  That the
log checking software will supply the correct multiplier for a contact.

Is that correct?

What the rules say, and what and how they check, has always been two
different stories for 45-50 years.
