Ah, I guess intercoms would make sense - although in the many multiops
I've done, I've never seen intercoms used like that.

Perhaps, but you never see them right next to the keyboard and radios
during a contest, and having telephones as part of a setup in a trailer
in the yard seemed odd to me, too. Naturally, one can look at that and be
suspicious about their use for making skeds during the contest with other
stations. I know this used to happen all the time in the northeast before
people began to realize that the telephone should not be a part of radio
contesting.
I think the videos were great, though. I can easily imagine certain
local guys making their own videos like that someday, too :-) Maybe
without the snow, though...
