[PPRAANet] Has Field Day become a contest?

[wv7t at aol.com]

I submitted the results of PPRAA Field Day on the site where I have always submitted without any problems. Field Day is supposed to be a emergency preparedness exercise not a contest. I received an e-mail from ARRL requesting a cabrillo format copy of all FD contacts.I have never sent log extracts for FD. Cabrillo files are always used for true contests. I am waiting for ARRL to respond to an e-mailI sent out asking why this change as FD is not a contest.
Stand by to stand by.
If we fail to be recognized in the FD listings in the fall I am at fault. The reply from ARRL will hopefully shed some light on the extreme change in FD reporting criteria.
