[WT-support] Win-Test 4.28 Cabrillo log header incorrect for HQ stations?

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Thanks again for the report.  I've opened Task ID #384
<http://flyspray.win-test.com/index.php?do=details&id=384> in the bugs
database (http://bugs.win-test.com).  In the mean time, manually editing
the Cabrillo file to use CATEGORY-STATION:  HQ  instead of CATEGORY-OVERLAY
should fix the problem.

73,
Bob, N6TV
