[CQ-Contest] Log what he sends?

[Ron Notarius W3WN]

Oh, I see.

So we need no longer bother logging what we are sent.  Like the SS check and
signal reports, it no longer matters, and we don't have to worry about
whether or not we get it right.  Just go with whatever the computer logging
program and callsign database tells you.

Great.

Sorry, but I think the FAQ is dead wrong on this "suggestion".  It may seem
"sensible" and may certainly be more convenient, but IMHO I think it is dead
wrong.

The CQWW FAQ offers sensible advice and is clear on this point.

*"*Log the zone based on their location.... No matter what someone sends
you, it is your responsibility to convert it into the zone number you
thought they were trying to communicate."
