[CQ-Contest] FT4 *is* a contesting mode.

[N4ZR]

Hi Mats - it's your call, of course, but in my 24 or so years on 
CQ-Contest (and on Towertalk, before CQ-Contest was born), I've seen 
these things come and go many times.  I would encourage the moderators 
to exercise their influence to deflect the group back to more mainstream 
concerns.  This too shall pass.

73, Pete N4ZR
