I received this inquiry this evening ... Can anyone point me to the  
answer???

I have 133 satellite contacts made through RS-12 when I lived in  
Hawaii.  I was logging then on a program that is no longer published.   
A friend helped me convert the old log format to Cabrillo (one of two  
acceptable input formats for Logbook of the World).  However, there is  
some additional data needed for each contact to show satellite mode  
and satellite name.  I can find how to add that info in ADIF (the  
other format accepted by LoTW) but not in Cabrillo.

Here's what a line of Cabrillo input looks like; the data is column- 
position-sensitive:

QSO: 21000 CW 1994-03-20 0109 N6VI/KH6     599  31 W2HG         599  00

Do you have any idea how to modify a line of contact data in Cabrillo  
so that it is correctly shown as a satellite contact in LoTW?
