Hello
Thank you all for giving me a lesson.

Well there are at least 2 ways to make a cabrillofile.
1. Write it down line pr line according to rules.
2. Use a contestprogram, which is able to generate a Cabrillofile, at least
it claims to be.

I did no. 2 via TRLog 6.69.
In this case it shows up that the line "ARRL-SECTION:" is missing in the
header, it is not automatically generatet in the program, that's the
problem.

Adding the mentioned line, sending the log to the ARRL-robot, waiting app.
10 minutes, and got an OK.
Very easy when you know how to do.

My problem was that I did not control my Cabrillofile according to the
ARRL-rules, I just expected it as a minimum  of service from the program.
For the case, I also testet TRLog 5.58, with same result, no "ARRL-SECTION:"
in the header.

I wont blame the program, maybe the demand for this extra line is new?
Last year I send my Cabrillofile from the same edition, missing this line,
but got an OK from the Robot, without problems.

In the answer from Dan N1ND, I think Peter should be changed to Jan, in
order to give some sence.
Otherwise the term "Hit the Nail....." has an other means in American
Lanquage?
