Wouldn't it make more sense to let WL do the work?

Temporarily change your computer's calendar date back to the date of the 
contest, and then enter *all* the QSOs into WL. Ignore the computer's 
automatic time-stamp while you're doing this.

Once all the QSOs are in the WL contest log, double-click on the Time 
field for each QSO in the log window, and you'll see a dialog where you 
can edit the time (and also the date, but you've already taken care of 
that).

That method will give you a complete, correct WL log that can be used to 
generate both the Cabrillo output *and* an ADIF file to merge into your 
main station log.
