But yes, it IS useful for LoTW, which does not need the contest exchange data
except for the call worked; after all, LoTW was designed at least partly with
DXpeditions in mind. If the "Cabrillo" file includes the call worked, and the
call sign field number is properly specified as I indicated earlier, it should
work for LoTW.
I think that we're both presuming that band, mode, frequency, time, date, etc.
is available in the "Cabrillo" file. If so, I remain convinced that the
problem can be solved within TQSL.
