[Dx4win] can DX4WIN export to a cabrillo format

[Bob Turner]

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 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...

My 2 cents...

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.

Ofcourse it would be better dx4win has this capability for the casual
contester who will do some qsos...
