[CQ-Contest] Quick Sweepstakes Question

[Tom]

Think about this from the sponsor's point of view:

1. They don't want to deal with a station sending a varying exchange.  
It means they have to handle it in a special manner, i.e. ignoring 
copying errors in the other stations logs because the sponsor can't 
really be sure what you sent.

2. They are sponsoring a GAME, not some life-or-death exchange. It 
doesn't matter very much whether what you sent corresponds to where you 
were or what you were doing unless it confers upon you some special 
advantage.  Keep sending "Q".

3. When you submit your score, enter in the higher power class. It would 
be unfair to the other participants to do anything else. Tell the 
sponsor what you did and why you did it, and that you consistently sent 
"Q", or whatever other wrong thing.

Be nice to sponsors.  You aren't paying them.
