[CQ-Contest] I hate ITU prefills

[Jim Brown]

I strongly agree, Paul.  I consider contests like CQWW to be about the 
dumbest around, and to require the least operating skill. If you get the 
call right, you're done except for QSOs from countries with more than 
one zone (and for US operators, that's a pretty small fraction). And 
even then, how hard is it to copy a 1-2 digit number?
