[WriteLog] Cabrillo File & Unclaimed QSO

[Randy Thompson K5ZD]

If you enter a single band category, only the QSOs on that band will be
counted for your score.  The CQ WW rules do require single band entrants to
include all other QSOs made during the contest (on other bands) to help with
the checking.  When you don't send those, the station you worked gets a
Not-In-Log.
