What about advertising before the contest such as CN8WW banner ads and EA8BH 
last year "Formula one" operation? And offering T-shirts and bottle of wine, 
etc. for contacting "me" _____  (insert your call)? Is there official ruling 
on this activity?
    Sure makes the difference alerting casual types to come and work "me" - 
making significant difference in scores vs. "regular" slobs minding their own 
contesting.
