[VHFcontesting] CQ WW VHF Cabrillo - I'm confused

[Kenneth E. Harker]

     I am completely confused by the CQ World Wide VHF Contest's web site 
as tot what my Cabrillo headers should look like for a single-band six meter 
high power entry.

>From http://www.cqww-vhf.com/
  The first line begins with START-OF-LOG:  
  There is a CALLSIGN: line.  
  There is a NAME: line with only one name even for multi operator entries.  
  There are ADDRESS: lines with a correct postal address (so we can send 
    you a certificate if you win one). There should only be one address 
    even for multi operator entries.  
  There are QSO: lines (yes, really).  
  BAND should be ALL, 144 or 50 only.  6M and 2M will converted to ALL by 
    the robot 
  Do not put in RST's - the VHF report is only your grid square 
  The last line contains only END-OF-LOG: 

One of these bullet points directly contradicts the Cabrillo 3.0 
specifications, which specify the band designators as "2M" and "6M" 
(see http://www.kkn.net/~trey/cabrillo/tags.html)  But I think the 
CQ site is not talking about Cabrillo 3.0, as it mentions BAND rather
than the CATEGORY-BAND: tag, for instance.  But, to add confusion, this 
page (http://www.cqww-vhf.com/logs.htm) gives incomplete examples 
("SINGLE-OP SINGLE BAND" by itself seems incomplete to me, as it 
doesn't show specifically how to designate 50 or 144.)


So, if I want a Cabrillo 2.3 CATEGORY: tag
that will work, does it need to be:

CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP 50 HIGH MIXED

or maybe

CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP 50 HIGH

or just 

CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP 50

or perhaps

CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP SINGLE BAND 50 HIGH

or maybe:

CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP SINGLE BAND
BAND: 50
POWER: HIGH

Or?????


In the Cabrillo 3.0 world, this would become:

CATEGORY-ASSISTED: NON-ASSISTED
CATEGORY-BAND: 6M
CATEGORY-MODE: MIXED
CATEGORY-OPERATOR: SINGLE-OP
CATEGORY-POWER: HIGH
CATEGORY-STATION: FIXED

Does the CQ WW VHF contest accept Cabrillo 3.0?  Nothing on the web site
says so.
