I had an issue getting the CQ contest robot to accept my fldigi generated
Cabrillo Report. The problem was with the format of the QSOs. The help
suggestion from the robot was not clear and just confused the issue. The
bottom line was a missing "DX" statement.
This is the fldigi generated format:
QSO: 21087 RY 2012-09-29 1840 AA5VU 599 04 TX G6NHU 599 14
This is what the robot expected:
QSO: 21087 RY 2012-09-29 1840 AA5VU 599 04 TX G6NHU 599 14
DX
The clue on what was wrong was found at
<http://www.kkn.net/~trey/Cabrillo_v2/cqww-rtty.txt> showing the addition of
the DX. I added the "DX" statements to the Cabrillo Report with a text editor
and the robot accepted my log on the first pass with no errors. The CQ Contest
rules do not mention the need to add the DX and it is not a contest logging
requirement. An example or a link to an example in future rules would be
helpful.
Hopefully, the tip to add a "DX" will help someone.
