I received the following error report from ARRL Cabrillo robot which made me
laugh.

I omitted ARRL section, abbreviated Roundup to RU and added known
keywords -POWER RTTY to category line.

I stand by my regular soapbox comment:  It takes the mathematician to make
such a "standard format"!

an example of a valid ARRL section specification:

DX stations should use 'DX' for the ARRL section, like this:

an example of a valid contest name specification for the ARRL RTTY Roundup:
