My assumption was that the judges would recognize that, for example, a
contact with a station sending the wrong zone could not possibly be
valid, even if I logged exactly what s/he sent. Perhaps I'm wrong about
that. However, that would require the log checking software to check
against the zone sent, not the actual zone. Perhaps it does, as I
suppose that wouldn't be any more difficult than checking serial
numbers. Perhaps someone can enlighten us. What happens if a station
sends in a CQWW log but the sent ITU zone for every QSO? Meanwhile,
I'll keep deleting those QSO's.
