A few years ago, for the Tennessee QSO Party, we received a Cabrillo file in which the received exchange field (should contain the state/province/DXCC 
entity of the station worked) contained the entire name and mailing address of the station worked.  Obviously that information was not transmitted 
over the air!

The log also contained fewer than 20 QSOs - the guy was a newbie who didn't know any better.  I'm a bit more concerned that a software package exists 
that will pull location information from QRZ/whatever & then stuff it in a Cabrillo file.
