This reason it was rejected is the "CW" appended to the end of the category=
.  This is only appropriate if the contest is like the IARU, where there ar=
e CW, SSB, or MIXED *categories*.  This is a software issue, not a contest =
sponsor issue.

The "CONTEST:" field normally denotes what mode the contest is:  CONTEST: C=
Q-160-CW

The other thing that is not obvious, is that the Cabrillo creation feature =
(at least in Writelog) does not default to the correct band for single band=
 contests.  In this case, instead of it "knowing" that a 160 contest is onl=
y on 160M, it defaults to "ALL" bands.

A quick review before submitting the Cabrillo file, and confirming that it =
complies with the rules of the contest, should be SOP for all.
