[CQ-Contest] CQWW - Proposed rule changes.

[David Gilbert]

It always amazes me how people can be so declarative about "the way it 
is", and so narrowly interpretive of it, when expressing their own 
personal views.

For example, if I happen to read/decode CW off a waterfall display with 
no other decoding I'm pretty certain that does not put me in an assisted 
category ... but then, at least I'm willing to express that as opinion 
and not fact.
