[RTTY] Contesting from other than home QTH

I believe the convention is that if you used your own call sign (KK6T) in
the contest, you would put @W6XXXX in the OPERATORS line in the Cabrillo
file. This would be indicated in the results by KK6T (@W6XXXX). If you used
the W6XXXX call sign, you would put just put KK6T in the OPERATORS line. In
the results, this would be indicated by  W6XXXX (KK6T) without any @ sign.
Of course, all the QSO lines in the Cabrillo file must contain the call sign
you actually used in the appropriate columns, which is how the log checking
software knows what call sign was used.

What is the established convention for operating in a contest from 
somewhere other than my home QTH?

Using my call as an example, if I operated from W6XXXX does my log get 
submitted as W6XXXX listing KK6T as op or does it get submitted as KK6T 
listing W6XXXX as QTH?
