a friend told me this morning that in the DX Logger template, when you want to 
produce the cabrillo file with SDCheck, the lines of the file are truncated at 
a certain  level, so that the callsigns of the stations you worked do not show.

SDCHECK is working as intended, in that I'm
not aware of any specific use for the Cabrillo
format for general logging - since Cabrillo is
a contest logger format.

On the other hand, SDCHECK's ADIF format is
complete, because that's what's needed for
importing SD's QSOs to a general-purpose
logger - or for uploading to LOTW.

Note that SD's .ALL files closely approximate
the Cabrillo format - with the addition of
a few fields denoting points, mults and dupes.
Perhaps this you be used instead of Cabrillo -
with a little editing if required?

Another option is to add any appropriate MAP
parameters to the DXpedition Logger template
QDXPED.TPL - these parameters indicate the
position and length of each field to be
transferred from the .ALL file QSO records,
and the starting position of thats field in the
Cabrillo QSO record.  Have a look at other
template files to see how they work.
