Cabrillo was intended to be a log of ALL QSOs you made, regardless of those you
want counted or not. CTRL-L assigns 0 points to the QSO, but since the
Cabrillo output has no notion of points, that info gets lost.
CTRL-L was typically used to mark non-mult QSOs made by the mult station in a
M/S effort. The station working the M/S does not know that they are M/S, so
they claim the QSO. If this QSO was deleted from the M/S log, then the other
station would lose credit for it during log checking (not-in-log). Not a good
solution.
My suggestion for serial number contests is to enter a known dupe, for instance
the same call as the previous QSO. This keeps the numbering in-tact.
