It's a real shame that these problems come up with well known RTTY software.
We have seen similar issues with BARTG contest logs.
There is a Cabrillo format for each RTTY contest. Software comes up which
claims to support named contests, but the writers rarely bother to check
with the contest managers. If they only sent a sample log for checking
before the software release these problems could be avoided. In 20+ years as
BARTG contest manager I only had one instance of verification before
software release and 1000s of logs sent in with missing information or
incorrect formatting.
The CQWW robot system seems efficient and informative with most problems ..
the errors reported on my logs have always been down to lousy typing and
silly errors this end. A few quick edits and it's fine.
If every line in your log gets reported as an error, it will be due to bad
logging software .... or maybe you selected the wrong contest?
If in doubt, try comparing your log to a known good log from someone using
Writelog :-)

My only reason for posting was to provide help if someone had a similar
issue.
The missing DX tag was the only issue I encountered with the robot.
