[UK-CONTEST] NFD rules

[David G3YYD]

Rules restrict, which works against the advancement of the hobby. An 
unrestricted category allows those with imagination,technical ability 
and the will to explore to do exactly that. Those who do not have these 
skills or abilities can stay in the current categories with their 
associated rules.

 From these sort of people we can all benefit from the advances they 
bring to the hobby. Without them we would still be using AM rather than 
SSB. We would be using pump handles and no iambic or PC keying. We would 
be using paper logging and paper adjudication rather than PC logging and 
software adjudication. And so on.
