And the guys who win consistently don't do this. Or listen during off times
either. Really. I asked them.
The secret to improving your skiils and eventually winning this game has
nothing to do with figuring out how to sneak around the rules.
The secret to getting good at contesting, as Wise Sage N5KO once said, is
that there is no secret.
Get on the air a lot, make lots of Qs, practice your CW, learn the bands,
build (or borrow) a good station in a good location with good equipment that
you know how to use, do a multiop once in a while with experienced good ops
to learn from them. Stay in the chair, lose some sleep, but have fun. The
high scores will come.
Don't clutter your mind trying to cook up ways around the rules.
73 and HNY,
