The Cabrillo file format is laid out different than the ADIF file, but contains the same information. The Cabrillo file format is laid out so it is easier to visually read. It still has Header information and then multiple QSO records just like the ADIF file. This information was copied from the ARRL database information. The database contains multiple other mode templates not shown here. I only copied the CW template.

For more information, please see www.arrl.org web site: CW TEMPLATE
