The CQP takes Cabrillo files using either version 2.0 or version 3.0. The ideal QSO line syntax is as follows:

           MO                 -------SENT INFO------ -----RECEIVED INFO-----
QSO: FREQ  DE DATE       TIME CALLSIGN     SER# QTH  CALL      SER#     QTH
QSO: 14250 PH 2014-10-04 1600 W1AW/6       0001 SCLA NS6T         1     ALAM
QSO:  7233 PH 2014-10-04 1603 W1AW/6       0002 SCLA N6O          7     CCOS

This example shows W1AW/6's log file with two QSOs from Santa Clara (SCLA) with sent serial numbers 1 and 2. The first two lines that label the columns are not meant to be included in the file. The exact amount of space between fields is not crucial. Ideally the sent QTH and received QTH should be one of the official 58 4-character California county abbreviations, the official 58 2-character US state and Canadian province abbreviations, or DX — all in the online list.

We also support having an extra column at the end of the line for the transceiver number.

A signal report (e.g., 59 or 599) is not part of the exchange, so it does not appear in the log.
