So, what does that exactly mean?

'You shouldn't do that - wink wink'

'Inconsitent with the spirit of the rules???'

Why not say 'The use of non-amateur radio means of communications (e.g. 
telephone or the Internet for the purpose of soliciting a contact (or 
contacts) during the contest period is illegal'  73
