Wrong - you log the zone that should have been sent.  Otherwise,
you may not realise you still need the "wrong" zone - the one
that was actually sent.  The fact that the wrong zone, not the
one copied, is in your Cabrillo log does not matter to CQ.

The scoring process in CQWW does not take the zone you logged
into account.  You will be credited with the "correct" zone
for each valid QSO, the zone determined by CQ.

You have misunderstood K1TTT's intent.  Of course, if it should
be a misunderstanding on my part, I expect to hear from K1TTT.

They won't - the QSOs will be scored as if CQ's correct zones
had been logged.
