This message got marked (by Gmail) as Spam for some reason, so maybe F6FVY
didn't see it.

The difference in frequencies could be explained if the Cabrillo logs were
created on different computers with different options, or if the "Use the
Alternate Frequency for Radio 1" checkbox was selected when creating one
Cabrillo log, but not the other.

>From the Release Notes:

4.18.0 (Sept. 25, 2015)

- Cabrillo output file : New option to output the "alternate"
  frequency for split QSO. May be useful if the available CAT data for
  your radio can't be used to determine accurately the TX freq vs the
  RX freq.

The setting is saved in wt.ini under:

LogCabrilloSwapFreqR1=0
LogCabrilloSwapFreqR2=0

Check the wt.ini file on both computers to see if they are set
differently.  If so, that is the explanation.
