According to the Cabrillo standard, the callsign field is the fifth field 
in the line:

freq mode date time callsign sentexchange rcvdexchange

The files simply need to be ASCII, with fields separated by spaces.  Tim's 
file parser simply looks for the callsign field, which the fifth.  The 
column position is not important.

Tim commented to me the other day that he has not received many 
logs.  Your's truly is amoung the delinquent, so we all ought to get going 
and send him our files.  The more files received, the better the data will be.
