I can confirm this issue.  I just opened Bug Report
#186<http://flyspray.win-test.com/index.php?do=details&id=186>(using
http://bugs.win-test.com) to help the developers track this as a problem.

It's possible that even after Win-Test gets fixed, existing log files will
still have "bad data" for transmitter ID, but there's still a way to fix
your Cabrillo log, with or without a bug fix.

Assuming you used distinct station names like STN1 and STN2 to distinguish
QSOs made at each station, then by selecting ".TXT file" output as well as
Cabrillo, and highlighting "Station Name" as one of the output columns, plus
some fancy text editing, it should be possible to get transmitter ID 0 or 1
put in Column 93 in your Cabrillo file where it belongs.

To do this accurately, you'll need to use something with "rectangle
cut/paste" capability, such as a spreadsheet program like MS Excel, or a
fancy text editor like GNU Emacs  I'll be happy to do this for you if you
aren't sure how to do it, or don't have time.  Just send me your .WTB file
(Zipped, as an attachment) and I'll send you back a Cabrillo file with the
transmitter ID filled in, as required for muilt-op logs.

If anyone else used Win-Test for M2 in the NAQP this weekend, I'll be happy
to do the same for you.  But since the log deadline is in 14 days, don't
wait long.
