Tree,

I would like to have
LITERAL QTH = TRUE
instead of
LITERAL DOMESTIC QTH = TRUE.

I feel I am in no position to replace the exchange received from a station
by some "more correct" value. An example is the CQ 160 meter contest, where
the rules do not specify what exactly must be sent, and S5 send SV, UA send
ER or AR, some Bulgarians send BG, etc. Have to Ctrl-N the exchange all the
time. Checking for typos gets in the way, though.

A somewhat different example is CQ WPX, where the rules specifically state:
Exchange: RS(T) report plus a progressive contact three digit serial number
                                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^
starting with 001 for the first contact. (Continue to four digits if past 999). 
Multi operator

LEADING ZEROS = 3 makes it only on the sending side, "001" get logged as "1".
I understand the CQ jury accepts this practice. Not sure if all others do.

73 & cu,
