Don't make the change to the AR10.DAT file as was suggested - that is 
clearly NOT how the ARRL rules read for this contest.  Ken can fix the 
program if he chooses.

Don't get so excited about this - ARRL is going to re-score your log 
anyway.  All Cabrillo is supposed to be is your entry class and a list of 
QSOs you made.  While the claimed score is included in your submission, 
it's going to be ignored as soon as the log is read into the computer.
