Does it matter what format you submit it in?   I notice that N1MM won't let me create a Cabrillo for a VHF contest anyway, I can only generate an EDI.  But it's all the same to me, I generally have very little to do with the generated log file once its been output, it just gets sent off for a robot to consume!

BTW, welcome back to VHF contesting Peter, sorry I wasn't able to be around on Sunday to add another GM to your bag  (sunday work commitments),  But I hope you'll be around for the next NAC on dec 1st!
