Dear Paul (SS-Non-participant),
The Cabrillo specification is not part of the rules for this contest, and
thus carries no weight in this argument. Submitting a Cabrillo log is not
a
requirement for participation. Paper logs are welcome.
The official ARRL rules require that I send my callsign as part of the
exchange.
Good luck on this one now.
73, Hans, K0HB

You have to look slightly further. The official
Cabrillo specifications for SS logs do not reflect the
ARRL's rules - callsigns appear once only in Cabrillo
QSO records.
http://www.kkn.net/~trey/cabrillo/qso-template.html
http://www.kkn.net/~trey/cabrillo/sweepstakes.txt
No callsigns are recorded among the exchange elements.
They are, of course, required somewhere, and they appear
in the Cabrillo "Info Sent" fields, in exactly the same
positions as the callsigns in all other contests.
Regardless of the original intent of the exchange, SS
is just another contest and there's no merit in having
built-in redundancy in any contest exchange. After all,
who would send their section or precedence twice?
