     As someone else mentioned and as I wrote in a different post--its not 
really that cut and dried because the are literally HUNDREDS of things that are 
not mentioned specifically in the rules.  My point, and that of several others, 
is that it does no good here to argue over specific details because the real 
problem is the ethics and morals of the persons involved.  These concepts are 
extremely variable and not concrete, so there is no concrete answer.  The only 
concrete part is the literal words of the rules--the interpretation and 
application is always "bendable".  And, as someone else mentioned, that is how 
life is!  
     For my part, I enter contests to have fun because I am content with the 
realization that I will never have the big bucks to buy the super-station that 
would permit me to be number one---and if you are not number one then you are 
just one of the "pack" (nothing wrong with that!) so you must have a different 
perspective on why you are in the contest.  I am there to have a good time and 
contact some hams that I might not normally hear, and that is a lot of fun and 
worth the effort, so that means that if someone bends some rule, or even breaks 
it, that has no effect on my "fun".  I am not a ham policeman!!

73s and I hope all this doesn't detract from the rest of you having fun--which 
is what the HOBBY is for!
