[RTTY] LoTW/Makrothen (Contesting)

When I first read the LOTW contest rules, I noticed they referred to 
uploading an ADIF/Cabrillo file to LOTW, but IIRC, I have been 
uploading a TQ8 file from WriteLog. I don't remember any option to 
change from TQ8. Is this a error in the rules or can we actually 
upload ADIF or Cabrillo to LOTW?
