Let's see:
- I write a widely used logging program which was one of the first to
support Cabrillo.
- I'm on the ARRL Contest Advisory Committee
- I check the logs for the ARRL 160M and 10M contests
and...
- I was one of the authors who contributed to the original Cabrillo spec.
AND I NEVER WAS INFORMED OF THIS CHANGE. While I don't think I'm the
center of the universe, I don't think it's appropriate to make changes
unannounced and expect people to check the Cabrillo web site to catch up.
Dave, K8CC
