BTW,
I don't know if you guys know this or not, but what your logging program
tells you of your score is only meaningful to you and the people who read
it on 3830. The contest sponsors don't use your summary sheet to compute
a score. They feed your cabrillo file in to their engine and your score
is then computed.
