Thanks to all the commenter's on my question.  My Cabrillo file and my log
are fine. The Cab file submitted was fine. Apparently one log entry was
corrupted en route to Mr. Robot and the band entry was missing.   Seems that
all those with access to my Cab file off the robot didn't see the original
file so here ya go.  Only a few hours on so mine is just a check log this
test. Sorry to stir all of you up. Apparently mine was the only Cab file
that had that problem while there were several that had some sort of spam
problem at the League ISP.  My original Cab file is attached. Thanks again.

Hi John-

 

The line in question is missing the frequency. In the sample provided in the
Robot's error message, you will note the "50" before the mode, which
indicates the band. Your QSO does not have the band indicated before the
mode.

I submitted my log to the robot today and got back a nice thank
you.however.I think the robot is a bit confused! I got a message at the
bottom which was entitled as "an informative message from the Contest
Robot".  I've pasted it below as I don't see what the decision was to do
about these errors.  The errors it is telling me that were in my log, are
not in the Cabrillo file that I sent to the ARRL. Dunno.All of the fields in
the log are in the correct place! L

Was someone looking into this? 



*** Informative Messages from the Contest Robot ***



[X] FYI:  A sample QSO line for ARRL-VHF-SEP looks like this:

QSO:    50 PH 2006-06-10 2114 K5TR              EM00   CO2OJ
EL83



[X] QSO: PH 2010-09-12 2347 K6EL              CM99   KE6ILX/R          CM99

Line ignored.

I do not recognize 'PH' as a valid VHF contest frequency.

I do not recognize '2010-09-12' as a valid mode.

I do not recognize '2347 K6EL' as a valid date and time.

I do not recognize 'KE6ILX/R' as a valid grid.

I do not recognize '' as a valid grid.
