[Xlog-discussion] Still trying to figure out Cabrillo

[John B. Egger]

In the 7th-area QSO Party, the desired Cabrillo format is listed as this:

> QSO:  3500 CW 2007-05-05 1315 N7LE          599 ORDES  K7UGA/m       
> 599 AZMCP
In my log I put the 599's in the two RST columns and the 7th-area 
station's exchange in the QTH column ( a mistake, I guess), and I got 
this from the Cabrillo export:

> QSO:  7000    2010-05-02 0305 K3GHH         599        W7YS          
> 599        
It's easy enough to add "CW" after every "7000" and "MD" after every 
"K3GHH     599", but it looks as if I'm going to have to manually insert 
each station's state/county exchange (like the AZMCP in the example).

I tried opening Xlog and placing the 5-letter exchange in one of the RST 
columns, and got this:

> QSO:  7000    2010-05-02 0218 K3GHH         599        KN7T          
> WAS NO     
This is an improvement, though it shouldn't have the space in the 
exchange, but even this would require editing each QSO in Xlog.

How should I have entered this contest's exchange in Xlog? What about 
more complicated exchanges, like the ARRL Sweepstakes? Is there a way to 
use Cabrillo to minimize the required post-export editing?

PS: I have read the manual entry for "Cabrillo."
