## Cabrillo

The Cabrillo log format is the defacto standard format for log submission in many contests. It's aim is to be ``an interface between logging program authors and contest sponsors.'' As such, the information in the file is generally limited with respect to day-to-day logging of contacts.

Xlog will import from and export to Cabrillo 2.0 files using the QSO template for DARC Worked All Europe. This format is very similar to, and in most cases should work for the QSO template for other ARRL and CQ contests, Stew Perry contest, Oceania DX Contest and AP Sprint.

Xlog will additionally attempt to import QSOs from Cabrillo files claiming to be for the Sweepstakes, NAQP and NA Sprint contests by matching the CONTEST tag and adjusting it's input parsing accordingly. When the CONTEST tag matches RSGB-IOTA or ARRL an attempt is done to add IOTA and WAS scoring to the AWARDS field in the log.

Xlog does not have contest specific exchange fields, instead the exchange data should go in the RST field. On export the data after the RS or RST is split out for the exchange field of the Cabrillo file. On import the extra exchange data is joined with the RST into Xlog's TX and RX RST fields.
