I did comment on this recently.

I do not consider it cheating or even unethical.
I am sorry if I mixed it in with my skeds post.

But I personally stopped staking out a frequency before the start of
the contest.  There are various reasons why that I will not bore you
with.

If I did or do start on some frequency before the contest these days I
can not see doing it for more than about five minutes before the start
of the contest.
