[CQ-Contest] Non-assisted & Assisted

[Jim Rhodes]

I am certainly not a BIG TIME CONTESTER and I have tried using the cluster
in a contest or 2 that do not make a distinction anymore. And I have to say
that I am slow enough already without taking on the added handicap of using
the cluster. If you think you need it fine. I will work the stations that
are not posted yet and not fight the pileups.
