[CQ-Contest] adding challenges to field day

[Rex Maner]

Shelby

That 1D can be changed to   1E very easily  by getting an extension cord and 
bringing it in thru the window and plug it into the outlet in the car port.
No need to hook the rig to ther extension cord but Emergency poure is 
avaliable.

That way you can call  CQ  FD
