[CQ-Contest] Observations of a young ham

[Joe]

How about a contest, That is like many already happening where you can 
form "Teams" and all operate from your own home stations.

BUT.... with a twist.

It is like Field Day with one call! And just like Field Day only one 
signal per bandmode ya know just like Field Day is.

Team members can be anywhere in the world.
