This one came up on the US reflector a little while back Chris.  There seemed 
to be  a general acceptance of the 'warming-up' approach (some multi-ops have 
dedicated ops especially for that purpose!) but some questioned the gathering 
of QRG info for later use, prior to the commencement of the event, asking 
'can that be construed as  operating' ? Do any of our rules cover this matter 
here at all?
