Unfortunately. But I fully understand that Cabrillo has not been 
designed for this purpose. We can't blame them...

I don't know what "standard" BV is using, but I know some WT users who 
imported general logs by massaging the data (mostly by removing the 
comments) and using a "fake" contest headers to allow importation. 
Atferwards, they changed the log settings in the appropriate dialog. Of 
course, it can only work with adapted bands and modes.

TBH, I discourage WT for this use, especially with very large logs (> 
few 100k QSO). WT is more adapted for "real" DXPeds ! Use a database 
based logger for general logging instead.
