[CQ-Contest] Log what he sends?

[Radio K0HB]

If I send 5NN T3 consistently throughout CQWW CW (being temporarily
relocated from Zone 4 where your computer thinks I am), will all who accept
the N1MM pre-fill and log Zone 4 lose the Q (plus penalty )?

This is an important question - would a CQWW Committee Member please give
an official opinion?
