[CQ-Contest] Multi-op rule change in CQWW

[Tom W8JI]

I built a box that stores the CW from two sources and releases it 
alternating to one radio at a time based on word spaces in the CW.

The problem is people on the other end won't wait for the delay.

Wintest, at least when I tried it, was not very CW thoughtful and did not 
have an interlock. I'm not sure if that changed now. N1MM does, and the 
interlock works OK.
