[CQ-Contest] adding challenges to field day

[K1TTT]

I have enough challenges in normal contests, fd is nice relaxing one.  I
have had to run the whole house on generator power during contests a couple
times the last few years, and got iced out of some last December when we
lost power for 5 days and broke a bunch of aluminum.  Its nice to have all
the antennas up and hopefully sit back and just play radio.
