[WriteLog] Cabrillo File Problem - ARRL 10 Meter Contest

I am either confused, or doing something wrong.

My copy of Writelog is registered to my home call, K6IF

I operated the ARRL 10 meter contest from Antigua, using my Antiguan call, V25R.

When I ask Writelog to save a Cabrillo file for the contest, it writes
a file that has DX in the place where my serial # should go.  So each
QSO line looks like this:

QSO: 28430 PH 2011-12-10 0000 V25R           59     DX LP1H           59      1

The robot doesn't like that, I assume that it wants my serial # where "DX" is.

Of course, the robot's feedback isn't very useful ;-)  It says:

[X] FYI:  A sample QSO line for ARRL-10 looks like this:


[X] QSO: 28400 PH 2011-12-10 0110 V25R           59     DX PU2LEP         59
Line ignored.
I do not recognize '' as a valid element of the exchange.

Line ignored.
I do not recognize '' as a valid element of the exchange.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?
