[CQ-Contest] Changing Category During SS?

[David Pruett]

Your Cabrillo log should always show every QSO you made and contain 
exactly the exchanges that occurred over the air.  You can show your 
intended category in the log header, but the QSO lines need to 
accurately reflect what went on the QSOs you're claiming.
