[CQ-Contest] Fun With Rules [long, sorry]

[k7qq]

There was a time in which 2 diferent clubs in the NW would take a list of
operators  from the Field Day site then set in a mobile a 100 yards or so
down the road and work every station the club had up and running on each
band and mode with the calls of every club member call it could come up with
to pad the scores,  much bragging between these  2 clubs as to who won Field
..

One of the clubs no longer exist  ,  the other is a very old club.
