It may also have been a bug in v 10.65C, which I'm still using. Several of
its pulldown menus for exporting into Cabrillo (still 2.0 for this version
of WL) were blank. When I checked the Cabrillo file WriteLog had created,
those fields weren't just blank, the info/data categories were missing
altogether! It didn't even create a "Start of Log" header!
I looked up the spec for Cabrillo 3.0 and manually created the proper header
for that version, and the robot accepted it first try.
The latest version of CT-Win on my old laptop did a great job with this;
were it not for the lack of an LPT port on my new machine, I'd still be
using CT-Win, which also sent reliable, error-free CW without having to
worry about CPU overload (WL definitely was not overloading my new laptop's
CPU; usage was never more than about 10%, but it glitched all the time,
unexpectedly, anyway, even after I'd shut down everything else running.
When using CT-Win, I also didn't have to buy extra hardware, and the
software itself was free - every ham's favorite price.
Ahh, for the "Good Ol' Days" - every ham's favorite place.

Subject: [WriteLog] CQ WPX Cabrillo file
I just created a Cabrillo file for the CQ WPX CW contest using WL V10.67B.
This version uses the new 3.0 Cabrillo format. When creating the Cabrillo
file I noticed WL did not offer a choice of Single-Op-Assisted in the
category drop boxes. I created the file using just Single-Op All High and
then went into the file and edited the category by adding "-Assisted". When
I submitted the log I quickly got a notice from the contest robot that it
was accepted without a problem. My question is, Why doesn't WL offer the
correct category options in the drop boxes? Is this a bug in the new 3.0
Cabrillo format?
