[CQ-Contest] Automation = lost essential skills

[Cqtestk4xs at aol.com]

Following that line of thinking, when someone who has a ratty fist  sends 
his call incorrectly during my QSO I should log that call, and not the one  I 
think it is?   Gonna cost you points.  I've worked quite a few  guys in CW 
contests whose fists are not FOC quality

You  should log what is sent.

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.
