[CQ-Contest] SS Gentlemen's Agreement re: Assistance

[Steve London]

I totally support all 5 points, and have operated this way for as long as I can
remember.

For my own, personal list, I would add:

6. We may only make post-contest changes to our log using information directly
obtained on-the-air, and personally noted during the contest period.

>>
>>1. We will not call CQ indicating a needed section;
>>2. We will not solicit, over the air, during the contest, information
>>regarding a needed section;
>>3. We will not set up schedules prior to the contest;
>>4. We will not request, prior to or during the contest, that we be passed
>>any unsolicited information during the contest;
>>5. We may act on any information overheard on the air so long as we have not
>>solicited that information in any way;

>>I believe all other scenarios are covered by the existing rules. This
>>gentlemen's agreement does not apply to the Unlimited or Multi category.
