It's not like the contest log checkers arbitrarily decide what they THINK 
the zone should be. Firstly, if someone from VE2 Zone 5 actually went to the 
time and effort to set up an operation in Zone 2, would they not submit a 
log? Secondly, log checkers can and have contacted non-submitting stations 
with abberant data to confirm.
Also, the multipliers are credit for having worked a zone. If you didn't 
work a zone, you didn't work a zone.
That someone misled you into thinking you did is unfortunately, but it 
doesn't change the fact you don't deserve credit for working a zone you did 
not.
How could the answer be any different? If it was, then why on this green 
Earth would anybody in Zone 4, 5 or 3 actually say they're in Zone 4, 5, or 
3, the easiest to work zones from the most populous zones on the planet?
If the multiplier is for what the station says and not where the station is, 
then next year, I'm in Zone 1 'cuz I'll have a monster pileup...
