I am assuming he means he wants to email his contest log entry to the CQ
contest people as a Cabrillo log.
George, what most people do is to use a contest logger, like the free N1MM
program, to log contest contacts. Then after the contest it gives you an
ADIF file that I import into DX4WIN (using Jim's excellent ADIF to DXL
conversion program) and a Cabrillo file to email to CQ Contest.
But since you did your contest logging on DX4WIN you can download those
contest contacts using a filter (date, group, whatever) as a ADIF file then
use the converter from http://www.sp7dqr.waw.pl/en/converters.php
to convert the ADIF file to Cabrillo to email to CQ. I have done this a
couple of times when I wasn't really in a contest but made a few contacts
and wanted to be sure the people I worked got credit for my contacts so I
entered a log even if it was for only 10 or 20 QSO's.

DX4WIN does not output Cabrillo.  I've never heard of this service CQ
offers.  Send me your ADIF file and I'll ship Cabrillo back to you.
