Cabrillo Logs - Information & Examples
Please find further specification details on the Cabrillo file format here.
Note for software developers: during the DARC 10m Contest DL stations send a double exchange consisting of a serial number and a DOK (or "NM" for not member). Especially in the case of Cabrillo files, it is very important that the columns for sent number, sent DOK, received number and received DOK are in the right place, i.e. correct column start and length. Please refer to the example logs listed below.
