(Evidently, not everyone was aware of the request for Cabrillo format that
was made in postings to several other reflectors)

>As you probably know, many contests are now requiring the Cabrillo format
>to be used for e-mailed logs. This includes all of the ARRL contests.
>
>Using Cabrillo allows us to use "robots" to scan your log and make sure
>everything looks right. The robots generate a reply message which will
>indicate if there were any problems. You can fix the problems and
>resubmit your log as many times as needed. It also gives you
>confidence that your log was received.
>
>Having the robots do this means that we can automate some of the
>processes that used to be done manually. It will help prevent
>QRP logs from being listed as high power and from your 10 meter
>log being lost because you sent it to the wrong address.
>
>A robot is now available for the Stew Perry contest. This would be
>the better place to send your log if it is in Cabrillo format. I
>believe TR Log is the only program that will generate a Cabrillo
>log for the Stew Perry, but if you are using the VHF mode in the
>other programs, you should be able to generate a Cabrillo log with
>a couple of minor edits.

>Change the CONTEST: to STEW-PERRY and make the CATEGORY one of the
>following:
>
>SINGLE-OP ALL QRP
>SINGLE-OP ALL LOW
>SINGLE-OP ALL HIGH
>MULTI-ONE ALL QRP
>MULTI-ONE ALL LOW
>MULTI-ONE ALL HIGH
>
>The Cabrillo format specification for the Stew Perry can be found
>at http://www.kkn.net/~trey/cabrillo/. Note that the QSO format
>includes both the sent and received RST. The contest rules do not
>require the RST to be sent or received, but having a "fake" RST
>here is required.
>
>The e-mail address to send your log to the robot is tbdc@kkn.net.
>If you send your log to this address, you do not need to send it
>to the old address (tbdc@contesting.com). The old address will
>still work for non-Cabrillo logs - at least for this year. Any
>Cabrillo log sent to the old address will be bounced to the robot.
>
>If you have any questions about this message, please contact me
>directly.
>
>The Stew Perry rules are at http://web.jzap.com/k7rat/stew.html.
>The contest runs this weekend.
