    Cabrillo Format  -  Information & Examples
     

    All RSGB HF Contests require entrants to submit their logfiles in Cabrillo format. The Cabrillo format was developed by Trey (N5KO) for the ARRL, and is the log submission format for HF contests worldwide.

    The format is a single text file which has two parts :    (a) Header   and   (b) QSO lines. 

    (a)  In RSGB HF Contests, the Header information entered before any contest is over-written by information entered into the log submission robot when entrants upload their log. This ensures that the logfile is in the correct section/category, etc.
    (b)  Each QSO line shows all data for that QSO, i.e. callsigns, band, mode, etc. so that the log can be sorted in various ways for checking and adjudication.

    The RSGB Log submission robot will reject any logfile which does not conform to the Cabrillo format and will ask entrants to correct and resubmit their logfile.

    'X-QSO' explanation :   If necessary, a Cabrillo log-file may be edited before submission, using a text editor such as Notepad, to show that a QSO was incomplete, or to indicate that you made an error for which the other station should not necessarily be penalised.   This is done by changing the start of that one QSO line from  'QSO:'  to  'X-QSO:'
    For example, consider this line in G9XYZ's log-file: 

    X-QSO:  3525 CW 2016-01-10 1501 G9XYZ   599 001    G2XYZ    599 003

    This means that G9XYZ realised there was something wrong with the QSO, but did not want G2XYZ to lose points unnecessarily. G9XYZ will score zero points for this QSO, but will not be penalised. In other words - any QSO prefixed with 'X-QSO:' in a Cabrillo file, rather than the usual 'QSO:' will be ignored in a log, but credit will be given to the station worked as long as this station has logged the QSO correctly.

    Don, G3XTT, has provided a Cabrillo Primer, with a more detailed description of the methodology and development.

    Scroll down this web page for a Cabrillo example for each of the RSGB HF Contests.
