DX station ONLY:

Apparently there is a way for DX stations using RTTY by WF1B v5.0 and higher, to
have their sent Serial Number inserted in the Cabrillo file when using
Cabrillo.exe.
Thanks to Phil, GU0SUP for the info.

PLEASE follow these instructions carefully. Open your RTTY.ini file with either
Notepad or Wordpad. Find State=  under the [PROFILE] heading. If there is
ANYTHING after the = sign, remove it then save the amended RTTY.ini file.

[PROFILE]

State=
SpaceTab=No
UsualRst=59

Run RTTY by WF1B and reload your ARRL RU .bin file. Do a 'writelog', then run
Cabrillo.exe to create the Cabrillo file, making sure that you select 'DX' in
the ARRL Section window and name the Cabrillo output with your call sign.
(xxxxx.log)

Open the newly created Cabrillo file with either Notepad or Wordpad and make
sure that the serial numbers you sent, are recorded. Example below:

QSO: 21080 RY 2002-01-05 1932 GU0SUP        599 1      AA9PB         599 WI
QSO: 21080 RY 2002-01-05 1935 GU0SUP        599 2      K4WW          599 KY
QSO: 21080 RY 2002-01-05 1940 GU0SUP        599 3      K3WW          599 PA

If your sent serial numbers are still not recorded, follow the advice I posted
on behalf of N1ND, ARRL Contest branch manager.
