[CQ-Contest] Remote contest operation

[David Gilbert]

I think Barry is probably correct that packet loss and latency (which 
are not directly related to speed) are the bigger issues.  It can be 
enlightening to ping one of the websites set up for that purpose to see 
what anyone's packet loss is ... especially to different destinations.  
I've even found that it can vary significantly from hour to hour, and I 
think there are even websites that rate various ISPs for their 
performance over time.
