Assuming that it is a contest where USA/VE contacts count for points...
Note that Cabrillo doesn't have to have the precise frequency listed in
the log, so there may be no indication to the contest sponsor that the
USA station's qso was out of band. (And of course the log could be
edited before submitting).
If you don't log it the USA station gets a NIL penalty in the contest,
which seems appropriate to me.
