Well, "backwards" is relative. If, say, a European station spotted:

DX 7188.4 N5NJ QSX 7088

it might be correct!  CT would then have to apply "out-of-band" rules to the
spotted callsign - which, of course, are different in different countries.
Even then, if both of the frequencies were in-band (say DX 28045 ZA1AAA
28065), but were spotted "backwards", CT would be helpless.

The data really needs to be correct as originated.
