[CQ-Contest] 1 KILO vs. 1000

[Dick Williams]

I just looked at my Log Checking Report for his year's ARRL DX Contest, 
Phone.  I lost three QSO's for Incorrect Exchange Information, as shown 
below:


*************** Incorrect Exchange Information ***************
14164   PH 2008-03-01  1325 W3OA NC EA1APV 1KILO correct 1000
14314   PH 2008-03-01  1611 W3OA NC 5Q1A   1KILO correct 1000
 3771   PH 2008-03-02  0141 W3OA NC YV5LMW 1KILO correct 1000

I thought 1000, KW, KILO, 1KW, 1KILO were all equal in the exchange 
entry.  Looks like I may be wrong.

What is the accepted practice for logging such exchanges?  Is it the 
same for ARRL DX and CQWW contests?
