This was the relevant rule in force for the 1999 contest.  The entire rules 
are on-line at (http://www.arrl.org/contests/announcements/rules-10m.html).

6. Miscellaneous: 
  6.4 The frequencies from 28.3 through 28.35 MHz are designated as a 
      non-contest window. Stations may not call CQ contest in this window. 

There was nothing in the rules to indicate that this did not apply to all 
stations, W/VE, DX, or otherwise.

And HG1S calls YOU ... on all bands ... as a dupe, too ... strange?
