Well, probably not _so_ faithfully!  sigh.....
My first submission went:

	CATEGORY: ROVER-LIMITED
	CATEGORY-OPERATOR: SINGLE-OP
	CATEGORY-TRANSMITTER: ONE
	CATEGORY-POWER: LOW

Re-reading the 'fine print', I re-submitted with:

	CATEGORY-STATION: ROVER-LIMITED
	CATEGORY-OPERATOR: SINGLE-OP
	CATEGORY-TRANSMITTER: ONE
	CATEGORY-POWER: LOW

  -- with the results:

The contest robot never warned me about the unsupported-in-Ver-3.0 line
entry: "CATEGORY: ROVER-LIMITED".

Whew!  _THAT_ was one of those blood-draining-from-your-head moments.
