- Making skeds before the contest.
- Sending emails 'reminding' people to work me in the contest.
- Warming up a frequency 30 mins before the contest.
(I will get on and tune around a bit and work some guys to find out
if my junk works)
- Using other bands in the 10 meter contest or in a single band effort
to find stations and move them to the band I am on for the weekend.
- Using databases of past exchanges or callsigns. SCP etc.
- Using packet to fill up the band maps before the contest starts
and then turning it off - when unassited.
- Running my amp when I am low power in an effrot to get to
the 150 or 200 watt limit.
- Having my friends feed me callsigns that no one else will work.
Which ones are "cheating" and which are "pushing the envelope?"
It's pretty clear from this thread that we aren't going to get a consensus
any time soon.
