I don't want to answer for Joop, but I thought about this feature
earlier.

I imagined like this:

logcfg.dat:

CABRILLO_DATA=/home/airween/.tlf/HA2OS_general.cab
CABRILLO_CONTEST=CQ-WW-CW
...

/home/airween/.tlf/HA2OS_general.cab
CABROLLO_CALLSIGN: HA2OS
CABRILLO_LOCATION: DX
CABRILLO_CATEGORY-OPERATOR: SINGLE-OP
CABRILLO_CATEGORY-ASSISTED: NON-ASSISTED
CABRILLO_CATEGORY-BAND: ALL
CABRILLO_CATEGORY-POWER: LOW
CABRILLO_CATEGORY-MODE: CW
CABRILLO_CATEGORY-TRANSMITTER: ONE
CABRILLO_CATEGORY-OVERLAY: 
CABRILLO_CONTEST=

I wrote deribelately the CABRILLO_CONTEST field at two places
(logcfg.dat and general data file): the second occurrance of
field overwrites the first, so therefore we can replace the
values at every contest, but can use a basic data.

When user types a ":w" in callsign field (start to export the log
to CABRILLO), then the fields which has values (by set them the
fields above) will filled in dialogues.

If you like this way, I can start to implement it soon.
