So.....I've had to edit my cabrillo file in order for the robot to accept it. Had to do it several times in fact. This seems fundamentally wrong to me. 'What-if' I made a mistake in this post contest editing and then got penalised.   I make the point that we should log what is sent by the DX station and should *not* edit it afterward.
