I don't understand this. There is no reason that you cannot build a Cabrillo
file that contains dupes. Maybe you are asking for the ability to put
non-QSOs, sorta-QSOs, almost-QSOs, maybe-QSOs, etc. into the log and not
claim contest credit for them? That's what "zero point QSOs" usually
refers to, not dupes...

I'm not sure that QSOs in a Cabrillo log need to be in chronological order.
There's nothing in the specs that says so.
