[CQ-Contest] Log what was sent

[Jim Brown]

I find this rule stupifying.  Why do we bother sending the Zone at all?  
This reinforces what I've long felt about CQWW -- that it's the dumbest 
contest going. ALL you have to copy is the other station's call -- the 
rest of it is auto-filled from call history files and country files!
