[CQ-Contest] Ham Radio in the Future

[Joe]

But then think of like Plaque sponsors.

A club sponsors an overlay. And anyone that is chasing or entering in 
that overlay sends their log to the sponsoring of the overlay group.

This way you have the overlay and no extra work for the main contest 
organizers.
