[CQ-Contest] Packet New Low

[David Robbins K1TTT]

If you are going to practice a contest that uses spots then you might as
well use spots during the practice.  You have to learn how to best use spots
just like you have to learn when you should run and when you should s&p, so
having the spots makes it more realistic.
