[CQ-Contest] Contest Rules

It is because many of the rules are poorly written, lack clarity, and need 
an overhaul.  I fault various Contest Sponsors for their lack of Leadership 
that this whole issue continues and continues and continues....

 > Good advice (always, in all things): Read ALL the rules.

IMHO, most Contesters are pretty friggin' intelligent, sharp people.  I 
believe the more intelligent a person is, the more "options" or 
"possibilities" present themselves from poorly written, incomplete "rules" 
with gaping loopholes in them.  Especially, if the rules have not been 
THOROUGHLY updated to address the RF-Packet vs. Telnet/Packet 
differentials, etc.

Contest sponsors with Rules that generate so many questions need to get off 
the friggin' fence and DEMONSTRATE SOME LEADERSHIP so that this confusion 
crap subsides.
