[CQ-Contest] CQ-Contest Digest, Vol 150, Issue 6

Not illegal. Not advisable, but not illegal. 

You're not being paid to operate, you have the remote possibility of winning a prize. There is a world of difference. 

Given the need for a contest to draw a large pool of operators, and given that it's likely only those in select geographic locations will win a radio, it's a challenging business case. 

He wouldn't get my $20.
