[WriteLog] 160 Log reject due to category

[Bob Naumann - N5NJ]

It seems that Writelog's Cabrillo file creation process does not verify that what you indicate as your entry category is valid for the particular contest.

I don't think that it's asking too much for us to understand the rules of the contest and manually select the correct category.

Fortunately, the robots at the ARRL and CQWW both report back to you what you need to know to fix it.

In addition, you can re-submit your log as many times as you need to in order to get it right.
