First of all, we all owe Jay a big "attaboy" for his work and
dedication.

This is my observation on Cabrillo though
1. If the log checking software for a RTTY contest isn't smart enough
to ignor
SSB/CW, it is dumber than I thought.
2. If the log isn't designated a checklog, Cabrillo should
automatically change it to low power.
3. Since the Name is part of the exchange, and in an exact location,
Cabrillo should know that the hell the proper Name is.
I usually have fits with these files, and I have the WT4I tools, and
as Jay said, we need to be more careful, but Cabrillo could learn a
few lessons also.
