Ideally - yes, but if left blank the robot won't mind [too much]

I quote from I2UIY's website - with apologies for the wordwrap - but
you get the jist, I'm sure

Log. In these days most of the contest software create a good Cabrillo
log but don't trust blindly to the software. What follows is a sample
of a good format: compare it with the format created by your software
and see if it is the same:

         1         2         3         4         5         6         7
8

599 15 DX

This is NOT a good format (see the last two right columns):

QSO: 14080 RY 2005-09-25 0253 XXXXX         599 17     W7WW
599 3AZ

QSO: 14080 RY 2005-09-25 0259 XXXXX         599 17     WW7OR
599 3QR

QSO: 14080 RY 2005-09-25 0302 XXXXX         599 17     K6XX
599 3CA

Most of the times you simply need to configure correctly your
software, sometimes the basic configuration is not enough. Please
refer to your software manual for more information.

If your software does not put "DX" in the last right column, this is
not a problem, we will take care of it.
