For ARRL contesting logs consider supporting ALL cabrillo-formatted exported files for ALL the ARRL published contests in the correct cabrillo format for each of the contests. This is for the body of the cabrillo file not the header. Here is an example 3 different ARRL contests RTTY, 10Ghz and up, Digi: ![965e8b36-21cf-404e-98c5-bf8f74a4f933](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/americanradioclub/original/3X/c/5/c50d3656b3eba962c49a4e3d4758f92c18cc8421.png) each of the formatted cabrillo files can have different information in the columns. Exporting the contest log from WRL should export the contest cabrillo file in the proper format with the correct data in each of the columns suitable for uploading to the ARRL contest site. The published contests are listed at: [ARRL Contest Calendar](https://contests.arrl.org/calendar.php) 73!! David (KG5EIU) ---

@KG5EIU Hey David, We do support cabrillo in the required formats. Each contest is different and each contests have different required contest exchanges. We are exporting these based on that. However you need to add your exchange to the ‘my exchange’ field below the logging field for each contest you participate in so that it will export your exchange properly. Thanks & 73 Brad K4AZE ---

Exporting in cabrillo format works well - however the data and fields in the file are not correct for each of the contests what is needed is to have a selection for the contest so the operator doesn’t have to build and edit the cabrillo file to upload for the contest have WRL build the correct formatted file for export including the correct exchanges etc. 73!!

@KG5EIU Hey David, What is incorrect? What contest are you referring to? When a contest is created we set the contest exchange fields and then set the format/order the fields need to be exported. All this is dependent on users entering the correct contest exchange’s in their QSO’s and then adding their exchange in the ‘my exchange’ field. We have been doing it this way for several years and have not had any issues with users submitting their logs unless they either a) dont enter the exchange or b) dont enter their exchange before exporting the cabrillo. ---

Hi Brad, Any of the screen shots I included in my original post has example file contents for different ARRL contests. (RTTY, 10Ghz and up, Digi) but I am attaching it here again. Notice the data in the columns are different for each of the contests when I export a log file and specify cabrillo there is no selection for the proper log format for the specific ARRL contest. Even if in my log I have entered has all the correct data. I am running desktop v0.2.1 ( I also just noticed there is NO support for cabrillo format export on macOS ? will this be addressed? ) ![ARRL-Contest-Export-n3fjp.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/americanradioclub/original/3X/c/5/c50d3656b3eba962c49a4e3d4758f92c18cc8421.png) 73!!
