[CQ-Contest] Field Day & CW & 15 minute rule

Thanks Dave

Now I understand why they did it, and clearly the
'octopus' contravenes the spirit of FD (or just about
any other contest).

Could they not achieve the same purpose by only
allowing one transmitter/receiver combination to be
powered/connected at any one time for each station? I
know that would be harder to police, but cheaters will
anyway. 

I really do think it is a shame that 160/10 have
effectively been removed from FD, at least here in the
northern fringes!
