[CQ-Contest] contesting 10 years from now

[Richard DiDonna NN3W]

Exactly Pete.  The C-64 wasn't that heavy on ram, yet it is the only program 
where you could actually hook up your bencher paddle, go from 40 to 20 "as 
the sun rose", tune the band work QRS ops on the high end of the band, and 
change power.

C'mon programmers!  There will be a lot of contesters who will gladly waste 
time at work (even to the level of sneaking a bencher or begali into the 
office) to practice with Doctor DX.
