If there's no confusion, then why did Dan Henderson tell another one of us
to note "zero-pointed" QSOs in SOAPBOX: lines on submissions to ARRL? Why
do the ARRL general contest rules continue to threaten penalties for
unmarked dupes in logs? Why does CQ want added lines for summary and
claimed score information?
The fact is, there are some problems with the Cabrillo format as it is
being implemented at CQ and ARRL, and until that is cleared up
authoritatively, people will continue to have legitimate questions.
