IOTA contest: CATEGORY-LOCATION missing in cabrillo export

Used RUMLogNG for the IOTA contest this weekend. Worked like a charm!

While post-processing the log I noticed that when performing the final cabrillo log export the mandatory field CATEGORY-LOCATION is missing and needed to be added manually.

There is a LOCATION field available with default value DX but that is not the correct field.

From the RSGB IOTA rules/cabrillo log format:
(2) Use "CATEGORY-LOCATION: NON-DXPEDITION" for fixed island stations,
"CATEGORY-LOCATION: DXPEDITION", for island dxpeditions, and
"CATEGORY-LOCATION: WORLD" for world stations

Tnx for the hint. It's interesting, according the specification there is no CATEGORY-LOCATION tag: https://wwrof.org/cabrillo/cabrillo-v3-header/
The web interface asks for your location before you can upload the file. So I guess it is not really needed. Nevertheless i will add this option for the next year.
