TR (at one time) supported all of the contests listed on the Cabrillo
web page.
It might be that I have fallen behind and there are ones there now that
are not being supported.
You can find the contests listed here:
http://www.kkn.net/~trey/cabrillo/qso-template.html
For a contest to say it uses the Cabrillo standard, it should be listed
on this page.
There is no way for a user to program POST to support a contest that
isn't already supported. If you can provide me the information for
the contests you are concerned about - I will see if I can add them.
However, they should go through the process of being added to the
Cabrillo web page. The Cabrillo people might ask them to make changes
to minimize the difference between they contest and some other one.
For example, I can't understand why QSO numbers have to be in a
different place than the CQ WPX contest (not having more data).
