# My first thought is if I, as a USA op, make a contact with another station 
operating in a USA authorized band it shouldn't be up to me to verify the 
legality of the other guy's operation.  That's between him and his regulatory 
body.  That would say that the QSO should count for me.

# Since reported frequency isn't something required by the rules, at first I 
want to say who cares?  But on second thought, the power rule seems to apply, 
"Cheating: means running more power than you are supposed to in your category 
and/or country."    So I don't know.
