The Challenge with using QRZ data is that it shows a stations mailing address
location, not where they operated the contest from.
Stations that operate portable and Rovers will be incorrectly shown.
In a VHF contest there are many of both.

Tom,
Wow, thank yoi for setting that up. I will give it a try tonight.
Since I only have a couple hundred contacts to map I startrd the task last
night plotting lat-long. It was as slow as I feared but then it got a lot
faster.....
I downloaded a 6 digit grid square overlay for google earth. Then by opening
the detail page map on qrz for each call in a window next to google earth I had
street level detail for the QTH and I could compare maps quickly.
By zooming in on google earth to the listed 6 digit grid and matching the roads
up I was able to set the pins within a few feet in most cases. After some
practice it only took about a minute or so per pin to map it out. This is a
reasonable task with just a couple hundred contacts.
Learning a lot from this exercise. When I get done I will post a link to
results.
Tom, I will follow up on the use of the code you so kindly wrote.

Hi John and other folks,
I whipped up a quick Cabrillo Log to KML parser and uploaded it to
http://roverlog.2ub.org/.?
Please have a look.? If it's not working for you, you can get debug output with
"Alt-U" just like the other RoverLog modules I have written.
Let me know if you enjoy it.
Thanks,
Tom, N1MU.
