Playing devils advocate here... This is a copy of the header section of one of my recent Cabrillo files. The required header labels and values are contest specific. Everything needs to be formatted exactly as the contest sponsor’s robot wants it or it will reject.
ARRL-SECTION: SNJ CALLSIGN: N2SCJ CLUB: South Jersey Radio Association CONTEST: CQ-WW-SSB CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP-ASSISTED ALL LOW SSB CLAIMED-SCORE: 43362 OPERATORS: N2SCJ NAME: Robert ADDRESS: Turner ADDRESS: Address and street name. ADDRESS: City, State, Zip ADDRESS: USA CREATED-BY: N1MM Logger V11.10.3 If DX4Win is going to generate valid Cabrillo file, how is it going to know all this stuff? Calculating the claimed score seems to be the most difficult as DX4WIN would need to know about the valid multipliers used in each contest. I recommend N1MM for contest logging. After the contest you export an ADIF and import it into DX4Win.

They are asking for a way to export a file in Cabrillo format. True this is generally used in contests, However I don't believe this would require updates like you say. This could be a one time change could it not? I'm for exporting a Cabrillo file directly from DX4WIN... My 2 cents... 73, Brian - NX0X -----Original Message----- From: Mel <[email protected]> To: Kostas Stamatis <[email protected]> Cc: REFLECTOR dx4win <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, Dec 3, 2011 10:15 am Subject: Re: [Dx4win] can DX4WIN export to a cabrillo format Nope... Paul should not waste time on Contest features because they equire constant attention to changes. Even casual contesters should onsider a free contest program, they are so much better suited. I use 1MM. It gets pretty involved if you want to use all the features... but ou don't need all the features for causal operating like I'm doing in he 160 contest this weekend.
