[CQ-Contest] Automation = lost essential skills

[Cqtestk4xs at aol.com]

When a "Sunday driver" guy calls me in the contest from DJ and  sends me 
5901 instead of 5914, that clearly is wrong.  You're saying that I  should log 
it as 5901 and not make the correction?

We had a  very good example of this in CQWW SSB.  7O2A was on the air  from
Socotra Island in Yemen.  He clearly sent zone 37 for every QSO,  but many
operators went with the default zone filled in by their logging  software
(21)...  and lost the multiplier.
