Yes, that's right.

Yes. It would be nice to have separate symbols for name, section, etc,
so we could share generic macro definitions, but it doesn't work that
way.

In any case, K0YR didn't turn in a log, so there is no cabrillo file
to cross-reference (other than the regenerated one that Ed shared).
