You are allowed to log on and read, and to spot, but not to "advertise"

General rules

4i. The active use (posting messages, arranging skeds, self spotting etc) of the 
DX Cluster and other spotting networks (including internet facilities for 
example ON4KST) to assist an entry to a contest on 6m, 4m, 2m and 70cm is banned 
in all RSGB contests with the exception of three IARU Region 1 co-ordinated 
contests (50MHz Trophy in June, 144MHz Trophy in September and 432MHz to 248GHz 
IARU in October) and the 144MHz Marconi contest in November where permitted by 
the rules for these contests. You may spot a DX station as long as your 
operating frequency is not given. A list of do's and don'ts 

    * Do spot DX you have worked or heard when tuning the band for the benefit 
of all.
    * Do use the DX cluster to help you find DX during the contest.
    * Don't use the DX cluster to help the DX find you.
    * Don't ask other stations that you work to "please spot me"
    * Don't spot DX you've just worked on your frequency.
    * Don't spot your fellow team member (if operating in team/multi band 
contests eg UKAC, AFS, VHF NFD etc).



> Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year with good DX
