 From the 10 G rules:

  8.2. Electronic entries must include the required information from the 
ARRL summary sheet (available online) completely filled out and a log 
file indicating band, date, time, call sign, the exchange information 
plus distance of contacts in km. The Cabrillo format is not required for 
the 10 GHz and Up Contest.
