[CQ-Contest] Blind Mode for N1MM Bandmap

[Richard F DiDonna NN3W]

I agree.  In major league baseball, we should use aluminum baseball bats. 
In sport fishing, a stick of dynamite will suffice.  In auto racing, perhaps 
Jet A would work better.  In marathoning, perhaps I could use a taxi cab for 
a couple miles.
