[CQ-Contest] Cheerleading

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

I don't think they were bogus spots.  The Skimmers will find you if you 
make one cq and qsy.  People might have left because they were unable to 
run, too much qrm etc.

Why would the assisted and Multi classes ignore the tool the can lead 
them directly to new contacts and mults?
