I don't think it would be a good idea to filter the Cabrillo output
for invalid QSOs. The Cabrillo file should include *all* QSOs that 
were made, be they dupes, incomplete contacts, QSOs with invalid
parties or whatever. 

Why? 

Because this file is not only sent to the contest sponsor but is 
also used (by other software) for example to create QSL data or
to import the data into a general logbook software.

Please leave the Cabrillo file complete.
