That was my point. All of my information was correct in the Cabrillo
file. For my score in the published results to be listed in the right
call area, I needed to list my call as KV3R/8 in the subject line of my
score submission. I thought that Cabrillo would make that unnecessary
because my complete address is there in the file. This year I will make
sure I list my call as KV3R/8 in the subject line of my e-mail. 
Second place in 8 land was a big deal to me, I'm just a little station!

73, Bill KV3R/8
In Wild Wonderful WV (and a rare county to boot)
