[CQ-Contest] CQ WW NIL penalty for zero pointer?

[Art Boyars]

In CQ WW SSB I was fooling around ("but I repeat myself") on 15M.  I figured to work a few loud guys, just to make sure the radio still played on SSB so I would be ready to work SS fone.  I was logging on paper.  I called one Club friend to comment on his audio.  He sent me his report (and I have not heard him complain about zero-ponters), and I sent him mine and I made my comments.  Because I did not expect to send in a score, I did not log the QSO.

Well, I wound up making about 30 QSOs, and decided I would like to send in the log.  So I transcribed it to CT.  If my log does not have that zero-point QSO, will he get penalized for a NIL?

Thanks and 73, Art K3KU
