Simple. Since your example contest, NAQP or SS, has the state/section
as part of the exchange, the log checker will check what you logged,
WC4E=FL or WCF and WC4I=KY. If both of these are logged correctly,
you'll get credit for both QSO's.
It "may" not be as simple for other contests without states/section or
other identifying exchange information. In this case, it's back to if
it can't be proven to be bad, then it should be counted as a good QSO.
This is also a good argument to SEND IN A LOG ... no matter how big or
small. The more logs there are to work with, the more accurate the log
checking process can be.
