[CQ-Contest] How unethical is this?

[K0HB]

Art, if we get to the point where showing off your operation to neighbor 
hams is "unethical", then we probably should send Kilocycle Kops around to 
inspect your station during the contest to make sure that you're not showing 
off.

All seriousness aside, I think you have a great idea.  Just do it!
