   Note: Longer distance QSOs will bring more points.

8. LOGS:
   All QSOs made during the contest must be included in the log, also if
   participating in the SOAB6 class, but working more than the allowed
   time in the contest. In this case all QSOs in excess of the allowed
   operating time do not count towards your score, and will be used as
   a CHECKLOG.
   (a) Only CABRILLO Logs will be accepted.
   (b) The Contest Committee requires an electronic log. Logs must be
       sent as an e-mail attachment named "callsign.log". The e-mail
