[CQ-Contest] CQWW LCR's and log scrubbing

[David Siddall]

To be clear in context and for *most* contests, for mono band (single band)
entries, there is no need to use the "X-QSO" function for QSOs on a
different band. Assuming that your single band category is correctly
identified in the cabrillo file, all QSOs on a different band (1) will be
disregarded for purposes of your submission but (2) counted for the
correspondent station.  The "X-QSO" function is to remove QSOs from your
score within your category that otherwise would be included.

73, Dave K3ZJ
