Brian, Not all Cabrillos are created equal. With the recent emergence of Cabrillo v3.0, about 1/3 of contest sponsors now require v3.0, whereas the remainder still use submissions based on the v2.x format. Implementing a Cabrillo export would not be one-time-and-done effort.
My vote is for Paul to devote his time to making DX4Win the best DX logging program out there, and leave contesting to others. -larry, K8UT webmaster, N1MM Logger -----Original Message----- From: Brian - NX0X Sent: Saturday, December 03, 2011 11:45 AM To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Dx4win] can DX4WIN export to a cabrillo format They are not asking for a "contest" style program that would require constant changes due to rule changes ect... 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...

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.
