It's not a signal report.  It's a "catch your breath place marker" to signal 
the next thing you hear will be their ARRL section.

In CQWW it's there to alert you to visually confirm that they send the same 
zone number that your software already knew they were going to send.  (If 
they don't send what your software expected, insinuate that they're idiots 
on "CQ-CONTEST" after the contest ends.)

Question for the "committees".  If I send a true signal report, and include 
it in my CABRILLO log, will you hit them for a busted QSO if their log shows 
something else?

If not, why not?
