I'm jumping in with K0HB here. On the one hand, we are told (at least
for CQ WW), to log the call AS IT WAS SENT (excpt for "/QRP"???). OTOH, we
are told that it does not matter what we log for the Zone (or
country/entity) because the scoring robot will put in what is correct. Do
we even have to log correctly what Zone was sent?
Was there not a case a year or two ago where some guy was excoriated (and
maybe DQed) for running people by just sending calls, and not sending the
already-known 59914? If my understanding of the what-to-log guidance is
correct, then maybe this guy had the right idea.
I love SS. At least there you have to copy something more than a call
sign. I guess I'm getting as curmudgeonly as Hans. Now, if I could also
become as good an operator, I'd be doin' OK.
BTW, re the chatter about "he shouldn't sign KL7 if he is stateside" -- I
think ARRL has a rule that you must sign portable if your prefix does not
indicate your country/entity. (Not much help for SS with W1's in SJV,
which I've complained about before.)
