Neither of the above conform to this.
The sample of the Cabrillo on the web site was given just for those who has
never seen how Cabrillo looks like in comparisson with an ASCII file and
does not pretend for real clarity since it is automatically generated by
most of contest software these days. Please read my next message how you
can use for example IARU format of K1EA to take part in LZDXC. Also we said
Cabrillo is preferable but NOT obligatory. One can still even send a paper
log if he wants to.

The idea behind this decision is that, if for example VR2BG has a numerous
unique QSOs which sumoultaneously are also multiplier ITU zones it will
affect his final score significantly compared to other participants. May be
the better way in my opinion is to count multipliers from all unique QSOs
which are proven not busted, but this was the decision of the contest
committee,so I can not do much about it. There are no rules which could
please everybody at the same time. Every rules have some drawbacks.So, when
one decides to take part in particular contest he reads them and makes his
decision :-))).
The rules have been designed mostly to make a contest as dynamic as possible
letting participants to move multipliers on different bands as quickly as
possible and being able at the same time to make as many QSOs as possible
within the frame of 24 hours period even if the number of the participants
in this relatively small contest is limited.
OK, enjoy the beer or wine while we make some contest QSOs at this end of
the world :-))
