[MiQP-Mail] Cabrillo file

[Hank Kohl K8DD]

My suggestion would be to go to miqp.org and download the version of NA
logging program and put your log in to it in the post contest mode.  That
would solve the three digit county problem.

I suppose you could do it with some of the other free logging programs 
if they
have a post contest mode, but I am not familiar with anything except NA, 
CT (which
does not cover MI QSO Party) and WrongLog.

A sample of a MI QSO Party Cabrillo file made by NA would look like this:

The N8--- is not the real call!
