[CQ-Contest] Get out of jail free card

[Dick Dievendorff]

Right.  While we're at it, we should ban those pesky memory keyers, it makes
redundant the important contesting skill of manually operating a Morse key.

And while we're at it, get rid of those pesky computer logging programs, it
makes redundant the important contesting skill of writing legibly and
maintaining a dupe sheet in real time.

And those durned microcontroller computers that are essential to every
modern transceiver should also be banned. No software power, just people
skills.

I second the motion.  People should win radiosport contests based on
"people powered skills", not software power.
