The Cabrillo file format is pretty simple. Each QSO line starts with
the"QSO:" identifier, followed by the frequency and mode, date and time,
then your call and sent information and finally the callsign of the station
worked and received information.
You are correct that your location (KS) should appear for the 10M contest
after the sent RST, but before the received callsign. This information
comes from the Log File Information screen in NA under "Exchange
Information", "Location". You probably overlooked filling in this field
when you created the log file.
Fill in this field, then re-write the logs to disk and you should be all set.
