Summary0001809: Rtty Cabrillo contest export
DescriptionCabrillo export - has some issues, see user notes and attachment
Attachment has 3 embedded files
Additional InformationI have attached three files re: file conversion of an RTTY log I created into a Cabrillo format.
I have sent

1. A jpeg of my sample CQ WW RTTY log as seen in HRD log itself

2. A sample of the above log converted to a Cabrillo file which contain errors

3. A corrected Cabrillo file as it should look.

When I participated in the CQ WW RTTY contest last month, I had over 675 contacts…..when I exported the log over to Cabrillo format, instead of my call was name Frank, RT instead of RY, and no sent or received exchanges of CQ zones

I have since found a work around for my call to be inserted instead of my name it is not an issue…and how I did this can be sent for another time.

However, in every RTTY contest site I have visited where they show a sample of the Cabrillo file format they need, ALL of them show RY and not RT. This makes sense because in the days of the RTTY machines (whose use was ending when I began my career) RYRYRYRYRY was always sent before the message.

Second, any exchange I place in the box after the 599 in DM780, both sent and received, do not carry over into the Cabrillo format….this includes any CQ zones, consecutive serial numbers (with [ ] which I know to use)

Interestingly enough, when I convert the log file to an XML file, it copies everything to an Excel spread sheet (as it should)….and way across into double lettered fields are the exchanges which led me to send off this e-mail and attachment and conclude that the Cabrillo file conversion software program just needs to be fine-tuned to display the sent and received exchanges.

Based in my website worldwide responses or views from each country where I posted how to create one’s own 100% custom macros for the digital modes ( http://ng1i.com ) and from my daily digital on air activities in these modes, I know that there are many, many HRD users out there, some with free version but others with paid subscription versions.
In conclusion, using just HRD software for such contests is so much easier to use than fldigi, or software “packages” where one needs two pieces of software and a bridging piece to tie both HRD and N1FJD software together…a long and confusing process to set up.

HRD makes working a digital contest so much more pleasurable and easy and for that reason, I have spent the time ‘beta’ testing my work around and finally arriving at my conclusions after two straight days of buckling down and taking descriptive notes (I was a Chief Inspector in the Police Services before I retired so ‘getting down to it’ was not a problem for me.

Very sorry for this long winded message…..all the best and many, many thanks,

 I need to know if this is a template or user defined Cabrillo entry. The template "Other" matches all except the CQ Zone on the end. Below are the standard templates.
