[CQ-Contest] Holding a QRG: ethics vs rules

[Ron Notarius W3WN]

In Pittsburgh, you put a lawn chair in the parking spot to "hold" it.
Unofficial, technically illegal (and sometimes the city cracks down and
confiscates the chairs, though not very often), and extremely common.

Haven't figured out how to put a lawn chair on a particular frequency
though.  Probably just as well.
