[CQ-Contest] Unauthorized Posts on DX Cluster are NOT KY1V

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

I can only imagine a registration/user/password implementation will not 
be forthcoming any time soon.

It's not that it can't be done, the crux of it is really "who's going to 
administer it?"

Take LoTW, for example... And all the bellyaching that goes along with 
that security system.
