But then again, should not the transmitting station know where they are?
If people correct my station in the IARU from what I send because some
places and logging programs place me in Zone 8, I am not in 8 i am in 7
still 9 land, AND still Wisconsin. But I AM in 07 and anyone that
changes it to what they think and may programs think as well as some web
sites say that i am in 08 they are wrong.

Kelly, the onus must be borne by the transmitting station. The receiving station
cannot be responsible to second guess what "should" have been sent, and cannot
lose points for correctly transcribing to what was actually sent.
You, as the receiver, must be able to trust John N0IJ when he inadvertently
sends his SEC as MN in SSCW because he misloaded his f-key macros, even if you
remember from an MWA reflector that he said he was going to his WI shack for
the weekend, and the the contest sponsor must credit you with correctly copying
the exchange.

How does all this reconcile with the idea a QSO only happens when both stations
SEND, receive, log and ack the exchange and callsign information correctly.
Does a Q exist if one station does not send the exchange correctly?

Hans,
I completely agree. But unfortunately the answer I wrote in my email is the
official answer of the CQWW contest committee.

Bad answer.
I do not carry in my head a reliable Prefix-to-Zone lookup table, and I am
not about to consult a wall map in the heat of the contest, so the correct
answer is "Log the zone based on what the station transmits".

Oeps, I spoke to soon. Check the rules FAQ, it clearly states what you
should do:
"Q I worked a station and they do not now
their CQ zone or they give me a serial number, what should I put in the
log?"
"A Log the zone base on their location"
