In last years CQWW SSB I submitted a Cabrillo log. I didn't think it was
necessary for me to put /8 on my call in the subject field because
Cabrillo has a line for State. Turns out that line was not used for
anything and my listing in the results was in 3 land. I should of won 2nd
place in 8 land for my class. I sent off an e-mail pointing this out and
hopefully, I'll get the certificate and something will get said about in
the magazine.
So make sure you put /whatever if your in another call area then what
your call says in the subject line of your e-mail for your score
submission.
