That is correct, sort of. Log whatever you want for the zone; it doesn't
matter. The program that does the scoring removes everything except the
band and callsign. It figures out the zone on its own. This is how K3EST
explained the process at a seminar last year.
However, for your own records/scoring you'll probably want to know what
zones you've worked. If you log a 16 as a 17 then don't work another 17,
you don't really have the zone 17 multiplier you think you have (thats what
Dave, K1TTT, was saying)
