I'm no expert on Cabrillo files but I think they are generally used for reporting contest results and are tailored in accordance with the rules of specific contests. However, every logging program I have seen that is capable of creating a Cabrillo file is also capable of exporting an ADIF file. So, I am wondering why one would need to convert Cabrillo to ADIF?

That makes no sense at all to me Tom. When I finish a contest I create a cabrillo file for reporting results and an ADIF file for importing to my general purpose logger and uploading to eQSL. No information is entered twice. What contest logger to you use?

Do a Google on CBR2ADIF for a utility that does this for the odd logger that does NOT create an ADIF file of its results...
