[CQ-Contest] The irony of Operating Time [was: Logging Time [was:Contesting Time Calculation]]

[Ken Widelitz]

"If you are populating a bandmap with the express intention of aiding your
score in a contest, you are (IMHO) operating the contest.*  And if you are
operating the contest before the official start, you are gaining an unfair
advantage.  You should not start operating the contest until the official
start of the contest."

Please ...

We had this thread before. As I stated before: "You can't be operating in
the contest BEFORE the contest starts. Period."

ALL the contest  rules I recall allow you to make schedules by non-amateur
means BEFORE the contest starts.
