As I recall, the original question was about transmitting in order to:

1.  Attract attention without actually making contest QSOs.
2.  Establish and hold a frequency prior to but for the contest.

IMO, both of those are unethical and should be banned.  Tune up your
rig if you like, but don't start contesting until the contest starts.
