[VHFcontesting] VHF contesting ethics questions

[kb8u vhf]

Do people think it is ethical to use the internet to get National Weather Service
radar images to assist in knowing where to point a 10 GHz dish for rain-scatter
propagation during contests when all other aspects of the contact are facilitated
over the air?  Exclude the 10 GHz and up contest since the rules for that one say 
anything goes.

How about use of the real-time propagtion map at 
http://www.mountainlake.k12.mn.us/ham/aprs/path.cgi?map=na ?

Neither give the callsign or frequency of anybody you could work so I'm OK
with them but I'll stop if I'm in the minority.
