[CQ-Contest] Incomplete SS exchange

[w5ov at w5ov.com]

Paul,

I'm afraid you've really lost me with this one.

What does the content of the Cabrillo reporting format have to do with
what is the required information to be sent in the exchange?

All of the information in the exchange is reported in the Cabrillo format.

I'm unable to understand what you're getting at.
