[X] FYI: A sample QSO line for CQ-WW-RTTY looks like this:
QSO: 28087 RY 2001-09-29 0000 LU6ETB 599 13 DX N6TR 599 03 OR 0
QSO: 14080 RY 2006-09-23 0002 YB2ECG 599 28 UA0LD 599 19 0
[X] Line ignored.
[X] I do not recognize 'UA0LD' as a valid QTH.
[X] I do not recognize '599' as a valid callsign.
[X] I do not recognize '' as a valid QTH.
After sending the log; soon the robot sending me the reply.
He told me that my log is not compatible and can not being recognized as the official log.
After examining the error message I find that there's a change on Robot Cabrillo template.
You see that after the our call, report(RST), our zone, it must inserted DX (because we are DX station, not W or VE-land). And that the worked station should be inserted DX if they are not W or VE-land.
Many contesters get the noise on several reflectors; including on MixW dan RTTY contesting.
They said that the robot was stupid!
For me it's just a piece of cake; we must follow the rule, robot act only depends on the rule.
So we must obey the rule to compliments the system.
Notepad very useful to overcome this problem. Use 'replace' tools and we can insert the 'DX' easily.
Replace YB2ECG 599 28 to YB2ECG 599 28 DX and also
Replace o to DX.
With 324 qso it's done only in a minute.
Saving the log and resending to the robot and finally I got the answer :

Last night, on the 17.00 UTC, YC8EXL told me via sms that he face the same problem.
So I suggest him to do what I've done.
A few minnute later he told me that he's succeed with his log; congratulation Old Man!
Some time we only need a little tricky to solve the problems.
Have a fun on the contest.
