The radio information definitely isn't in your Cabrillo file (it'd be at the
end of the line).
I did some more testing just now (at the expense of my employer!) and there
seems to be an additional setup requirement that I didn't include
originally:
The PCs have to be connected via the network, each having a different
"Network ID" - I used "A" and "B" for my stations. Note that this Network ID
is different from and unrelated to the "Network Display Name" you can enter
from the Setup menu. This is part of the normal steps for setting up
networking in WriteLog, so it shouldn't be a problem unless you used the
same network ID on all computers (that would be Very Bad Thing(tm))
When you look at the log from within WriteLog, scroll to the far right side
of the log window and you should see "r" and "NETW" - the "r" apparently
identifies which radio on a particular computer was used, and the "NETW"
identifies which computer on the network was used -- it's this NETW value
that clues WriteLog to include the radio identifier in the cabrillo file. If
it's not present in your log, you've got a real problem!
I did the following steps to "simulate" two networked PCs and the Cabrillo
file generated as it should have - basically I pretended I had logs from two
different machines that had lost their network connection and the logs were
later "merged" in WriteLog - (this was done with v.10.22B; my other testing
over the weekend was v10.24F):
1. Start a new log (select ARRL DX as the contsst)
2. Select Setup | Log which Radio Makes the QSO (make sure it's checked)
3. Select Setup | Register to accept network connections
4. Enter a station ID of "A" when prompted (the prompt says "Enter a letter
(A through Z) distinguishing this station from all others being networked")
5. Enter a couple "dummy" QSOs - be sure to set band/mode to something valid
if the radio isn't turned on and provding that information.
6. Save the log.
7. Start another new log (again, pick ARRL DX as the contest)
8. Select Setup | Log which Radio Makes the QSO (make sure it's checked)
9. Select Setup | Register to accept network connections
10. Enter a station ID of "B" when prompted
11. Enter a couple "dummy" qsos - be sure to set band/mode as appropriate.
12. Save the log using a different name than in step 6
13. Select File | Merge... and select the log files saved in step 6.
You should now see a log that has several QSOs with a NETW of "A" and
several with a NETW of "B" at the far right of the log window.
14. Save the merged log under another new name
15. Contest | Cabrillo File
16. Be sure to select "Multi-Two" as the category
When you're done, the cabrillo log should resemble this:
