[CQ-Contest] ARRL to allow self-spotting in contests

[David Gilbert]

I know how FT8 works (I've studied Joe's papers and researched the 
principles) and I would have no intention of making anything else work 
like FT8 does.  It's simply too restrictive, particularly for 
contesting.  But the signal processing behind FT8 is applicable to 
several different communication formats.  If you really knew how FT8 
works you'd understand that.
