[CQ-Contest] Smart ARRL robot

I received the following error report from ARRL Cabrillo robot which made me
laugh.

I omitted ARRL section, abbreviated Roundup to RU and added known
keywords -POWER RTTY to category line.

I stand by my regular soapbox comment:  It takes the mathematician to make
such a "standard format"!

        ERROR MESSAGE REPORT FROM THE ROBOT

ERROR #1: No valid ARRL section specified.

REMEDY #1: Please modify your Cabrillo log file to include a valid
ARRL section abbreviation.  A list of valid ARRL section abbreviations
can be seen at http://www.arrl.org/contests/sections.abv.html.  Here is
an example of a valid ARRL section specification:

ARRL-SECTION: NWT

DX stations should use 'DX' for the ARRL section, like this:

ARRL-SECTION: DX

ERROR #2: Log may not be for the ARRL RTTY Roundup.

REMEDY #2: Please resubmit the correct log.  If the log is correct but
simply
mislabeled, please change to the contest name to ARRL-RTTY.  Here is
an example of a valid contest name specification for the ARRL RTTY Roundup:

CONTEST: ARRL-RTTY

ERROR #3: Invalid category

REMEDY #3: Please modify your Cabrillo log file to include
a valid category.  The complete list of valid categories for the ARRL
RTTY Roundup is as follows:

CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP ALL LOW
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP ALL HIGH
CATEGORY: MULTI-ONE ALL LOW
CATEGORY: MULTI-ONE ALL HIGH
CATEGORY: CHECKLOG

Please note that there is no Single Op Assisted category in this
contest.  Single operators who use packet assistance must submit their
logs in the Multi Op category.
