[CQ-Contest] Origin of Cabrillo

[Mike/Shelley Ritz]

The Cabrillo program was named after Cabrillo College, a small community college in Aptos, CA (Near Santa Cruz). Trey (N5KO) lives very near there.

The Cabrillo is the name of the explorer what discover California, based on that the State use it a lot 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Rodr%C3%ADguez_Cabrillo 

why Trey choose that name for the contest format? , we need to ask him why 

Maybe there is no magic on the name, just a name.

Trivia Time! 
I did some browsing but I couldn't find why the Cabrillo format was dubbed 
'Cabrillo'. Anyone?
