Thanks to Bob K8RC for sending me this hyperlink, which describes the format

of the QSO section: <http://www.cqwwrtty.com/logs.htm> DXKeeper will generate correct Cabrillo for CQ WW RTTY if one follows notes 9 and 10 beneath the table in <http://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxkeeper/Help/Contesting.htm> Specifically, Note 9: in CQ WW RTTY, the TX Exchange should be set to the two-digit CQ zone followed by a space character followed by one of the following: - a 2-character state abbreviation (for American stations) - a 2-character province abbreviation (for Canadian stations) - DX (for all other stations) Note 10: In CQ WW RTTY, the recorded RX# item is assumed to contain a one-digit or two-digit CQ zone and, optionally, a 2-character area indicator: a state abbreviation, a province abbreviation or DX. If no area indicator is present, DX is assumed. The zone and area indicator can be in any order, with or without a space separator. Thus the following are all acceptable receive exchanges: 03 NV nv 3 CA3 25 dx31 26 DX 73, Dave, AA6YQ

Subject: Re: [dxlab] FW: RETURNED BY CQ WW: AB5C CQ WW RTTY has a different set of rules that CQWW SSB or CQWW CW. CQ WW RTTY requires *STATE* in addition to zone for US stations and *CALL AREA* (I think) in addition to zone for VE stations. A proper Cabrillo format file for CQWW RTTY would look like this: QSO: 14080 RY 2011-10-24 0014 W4TV 59 05 FL W1AW 59 05 CT QSO: 14080 RY 2011-10-24 0014 W4TV 59 05 FL OH0XX 59 15 DX QSO: 14080 RY 2011-10-24 0015 W4TV 59 05 FL G5AAA 59 14 DX Note the "State/Area/DX" column in both the sent and received exchange. However, the submitted file lacks the state/area/DX column *and* contains a serial number instead of the CQ Zone. 73, ...
