The Cabrillo specification itself defines that at:

http://www.kkn.net/~trey/cabrillo/spec.html

Where it states:

"CONTEST: contest-name

The contest-name must be one of the following: AP-SPRINT, ARRL-10, 
ARRL-160, ARRL-DX-CW, ARRL-DX-SSB, ARRL-SS-CW, ARRL-SS-SSB, ARRL-UHF-AUG, 
ARRL-VHF-JAN, ARRL-VHF-JUN, ARRL-VHF-SEP, ARRL-RTTY, BARTG-RTTY, CQ-160-CW, 
CQ-160-SSB CQ-WPX-CW, CQ-WPX-RTTY, CQ-WPX-SSB, CQ-VHF, CQ-WW-CW, 
CQ-WW-RTTY, CQ-WW-SSB, DARC-WAEDC-CW, DARC-WAEDC-RTTY, DARC-WAEDC-SSB, 
DL-DX-RTTY, IARU-HF, JIDX-CW, JIDX-SSB, NAQP-CW, NAQP-RTTY, NAQP-SSB, 
NA-SPRINT-CW, NA-SPRINT-SSB, NEQP, OCEANIA-DX-CW, OCEANIA-DX-SSB, 
RSGB-IOTA, SAC-CW, SAC-SSB, SARTG-WW-RTTY, STEW-PERRY or TARA-RTTY."

Therefore, the list you have compiled is not correct, full stop.

It does help illustrate the anarchy that Cabrillo has become, with
so many deviations being devised & masquerading behind the
name... in due course, such a list may just take on a life of
its own & fuel the anarchy.

Why is it so difficult to work with the spec?
