In a perfect world, penalties for busted qsos would be related to the
reported signal report.
If you give the guy a 59(9) and bust his info, you must be pretty bad at
copying signals that are, by your own admission, perfectly readable signals.
If you give him a 33(9) and bust his info, it may be partly the other guy's
fault for being so weak, or the fault of neither of you that there was so
much QRM and QRN, so therefore not so much of a reflection on your
skills.

Sorry folks...but ever try reading the RULES?
>From CQWW
IV. NUMBER EXCHANGE: Phone: RS
report plus zone (i.e., 5705). CW: RST
report plus zone (i.e., 57905).
So we are all REQUIRED to send 5705 or 57905, irrespective of S strength,
readability, or
actual zone.
We all know that "IE" translates into "that is," right? So CQ specifies
exactly what we
are supposed to send and it is NOT 599.
NOTE: Clearly, the rule should read: (EG 5705) since EG = "for example."
Additionally, nowhere in the CQWW Rules does it state that you have record
the exchange,
only to make an exchange.
As far as I know (afaik for you net guys), cabrillo is what "requires"
that the exchange field
be populated.
