Gosh, do you think anyone will understand what you just wrote (and what is
in the CQ WW FAQ)?
All those hundreds of emails for naught.

I'm not a lawyer and I do not play one on telly, but the CQ FAQ seems
clear
to me:
Q: "I work a station and they do not know their CQ zone or they give me a
serial number, what should I put in the log?
"Log the zone based on their location."
We "bother sending the Zone at all" because people operate "out of their
Zone." Or their mind.
OTOH -- sending 599 or 59 in every exchange: now, that's dumb.
