I'd say go for it.  Keep the logs.

It has been brought to my attention that I posted a facebook posting stating that the GQP was on the air and I listed the suggested GQP frequencies, and I mentioned that the NQ4I station would be on using the K4HYB call sign all done 30 minutes into the contest. So I am strongly considering taking the K4HYB log and not submitting it for the GQP competition.  I did what I did to publicise the GQP and hopefully get some more participation. It obviously has offended one member of SECC and not taken in the context it was meant. I apologize to all the hard working members of the K4HYB team. I read the posting from Norm WA4ZXV and it said that use of spotting networks was encouraged...I took that to include spotting ones station.  No where in my facebook posting did I specifically state any frequency that K4HYB was using at the time. Only the suggested GQP spots to look for Ga stations.
