Richard,

I take from General Rule 7 that non-UK stations do not have to be  
RSGB members.

7. Entrants
(a) All operators of UK stations must be RSGB members except visiting  
amateurs, not normally resident in the UK. UK stations may not use  
special (eg GB, GX etc) callsigns nor be /MM or /AM.

But if you read the rules carefully, there is nothing in either the  
General rules or the specific contest rules that says a US station  
can't work a Canadian station for a valid QSO. Foreign stations must  
work UK stations for multipliers, but a French station working a  
Spanish station seems to be valid, yes?

I just worked a French station the other night, running 4 watts, so  
it is definitely possible you might hear me!
