However, submitted Cabrillo file logs may use ARRL-RTTY as the contest tag and the log submittal robot will change it to TEN-RTTY[/color].[/b] This means you should select ARRL RTTY Roundup in your contest program.

HIGH power entries will be classified as CHECKLOGs. The Cabrillo file must meet the Cabrillo 2 or Cabrillo 3 ARRL RTTY Roundup template specification.

Plaque sponsorship ($75) is available for any other category the donor chooses.
