[CQ-Contest] Log what was sent

[K9MA]

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.

73,
