Hi Mike,

The Google translation of the rules leaves a lot to be desired, but it shouldn't be a big hang-up. Since your version of WL doesn't have a Cabrillo output I would recommend the excellent free adif2cab converter by Merek SP7DQR. You can download it at http://www.sp7dqr.waw.pl/en/converters.php. Just export your log as an adif file and then use the adif2cab converter to create the Cabrillo.

The Russian RTTY uses a modified header format for their Cabrillo style logs so once you've created the Cabrillo you can modify the header portion with a text editor. The link at http://srr.ru/CONTEST/ermak/index.html contains information about the modified header lines. Right click in the left panel and select Google Translate. At the bottom of the list of modified Cabrillo headers there is a list of various Russian contests. Click on the Russian RADIO WW RTTY Contest to see a sample of the Cabrillo log format for this contest. The lines contain double entries - must be a translation goof up thing. Anyway, with this info you can modify your log submission to their expectations.

Hello,

Is Cabrillo format required for the Russian RTTY Contest log submission?
Hard to tell from the machine translation of the rules.  Cabrillo format
isn't available in WL V 10.84D, the version used.
