Re: Cabrillo for ARRL-160

[Csahok Zoltan]

EXC_S is resolved based on CABRILLO-EXCHANGE that is set by default to "#" = 
serial number.
So, if I got it correctly, then for this example from the rules
CQing Station: CQ TEST DE W1AW
Answering Station: W1BB
CQer: W1BB 599 CT
Answer: 599 EMA

the correct setting is

CABRILLO-EXCHANGE=CT


I'll look into the rescoring issue.
