But yes, it IS useful for LoTW, which does not need the contest exchange data except for the call worked; after all, LoTW was designed at least partly with DXpeditions in mind.  If the "Cabrillo" file includes the call worked, and the call sign field number is properly specified as I indicated earlier, it should work for LoTW.

I think that we're both presuming that band, mode, frequency, time, date, etc. is available in the "Cabrillo" file.  If so, I remain convinced that the problem can be solved within TQSL.
