[Xlog-discussion] Errors in Cabrillo format

[Burkhard John]

Hi all,

I tried to export my log to cabrillo and I found some badly formated
columns. I use xlog 0.9.1.

QSO-lines are shortend by some spaces to fit to line length.

Without contest numbers

QSO: 28    PH 2004-01-11 0908 DK5JG      59         DH6JL         59
Phone is ok

QSO: 28    CW 2004-01-11 0933 DK5JG      599        DL5JS         599
CW is ok

QSO: 14    RY 2004-01-18 1558 DK5JG      59  9      EW1CQ         59  9
Bad, RST is only 59, then contest number, wrong type of RST in RTTY
RST allways has three digits in the Cabrillo specification.

QSO: 10    PSK312003-08-19 1228 DK5JG     58  9      I1FYB/1       53  9
Bad, wrong type of RST in PSK31 and too long mode, PSK31.
Mode and date are not separated.
PSK31 is not defined in Cabrillo specifications so really export this
entry?.

Question:

On startup xlog shows number of QSOs and number of countries in the
bottomline.

In the moment my log shows:
792 QSO, ok, my QSOs since Jan. 2002
342 countries: WOW! brilliant operator indeed working 10W on a multiband
dipole under roof, every second QSO a new country??? :-)
So, what does this number really count?
