[CQ-Contest] Training Potential Contest Ops

[Randy Thompson, K5ZD]

Two good ones coming up.  SS Phone has lots of loud activity although the
long exchange could be a problem.

The ideal training contest is the ARRL 10M contest.  Good mix of domestic
and DX, high rate and low, multipliers, CW and phone.

IARU is also a good training contest for the same reasons.
