[CQ-Contest] NAQP Revised Rules

[Tom Haavisto]

There was some discussion about this issue some months ago here on
CQ-Contest.  The consensus was - no packet for single ops, and it seems
like a great option.  *Every* contest does not need packet for single ops -
just need to learn to spin the dial, or call CQ (a lot) to find those
elusive mults!  Consider it a chance to improve your contesting skills.

Not sure why this (continuation) of the rules for single ops will suddenly
discourage folks from getting on, as participation seems quite good with
the current rules.

Next thing you know, single ops with one radio will complain about folks
who have two radios/do SO2R, and state they need to be in a separate class
:<evil grin>.
