But what about the people that log it thinking what it should be, and 
then other logging it what was actually sent.?

I have this problem in the IARU HF test. probably 10% of my contacts are 
arguments with people saying I'm telling them I'm in the wrong zone.  I 
AM in zone 7 and yes a 9 lander in Wisconsin. there is this small slice 
of Wisconsin 9 Land that is in zone 7,  but I have so many people say 
i'm in Zone 8.  hello?  who knows better  You or Me what zone I'm in.

Copy whats sent and nothing else.
