I have to disagree here Dave.  I don't see any problem with 2 hams 
meeting face to face and agreeing to work each other on any legal band 
they have.  As a precedent, how about members of a multiop working their 
own ops on microwave bands?

I just don't think you can consider an op's eyes as "non-amateur" 
means...  Now, if you were using a bull horn to draw them in, then that 
would be pretty unethical:-)

Of course, this is just my opinion.

73 & hope to hear you in the contest!
