If, by the phrase "at the forefront of contest technology", 
you are saying you use other internet-based communications
systems while contesting - for the purpose of increasing
your contest score, then I suggest you are an amateur
internet contester.

In those circumstances, you can no more be an amateur radio
contester than you could describe yourself as sailing while
using an engine.

I am an amateur radio contester - I do not use any other
communications system while contesting.  I tune up and
down the bands and find stations to work all by myself,
because that's what amateur radio contesters do.

Otherwise, they would be called something else.

73,
