[CQ-Contest] WRTC Log Checking

[Randy Thompson K5ZD]

Everything you need to know about all of the fields in the Cabrillo file can be found at
https://wwrof.org/cabrillo/cabrillo-specification-v3/

Putting anything other than DX or an ARRL section in the LOCATION field is wrong.

The header looks OK.  I suspect there is some other issue in the file.  It seems you were trying to submit via the WRTC upload page.  All logs submitted to the ARRL/IARU web upload page by 1600z were also used for WRTC checking.
