To get  into the LOTW system  was a challenge for me and without help  I
probably would never have made it.

What remains is to download  logs, which is a new challenge.
Unless you have been using a  cabrillo-compatible logprogram you are in
trouble !
I know from personal  experience.


If somebody could develop a piece of software that  could convert (
virtually) any type of logging program
I believe many  more would participate.

Rag:
You can also upload your .adif file to generate a .tq8 file.  I think  all 
the computer logging software has provisions for making an .adif  file.  The 
beauty of LOTW is that you can use either format to generate a "trusted" file for 
upload.  The LOTW software  does all the work.  Give it a cabrillo or .adif 
file and ....presto....your  .tq8 file is ready to upload.
