I received a solicitation for QSOs, too.
As Steve did, I questioned the legality of this, so declined to join the chat.
The fun (well, maybe) of contesting is working through messy pileups from a
mediocre station, busting calls, blowing up hardware and software :-)
... and so it goes!

Here's an excerpt from the low-band chat room
(http://www.on4kst.com/chat/start.php) over the weekend.
Could someone explain to me how this could possibly be legal, ethical or
acceptable behavior under the contest rules ?
The call of the guilty party, a multi-op station owner, has been removed,
although he certainly deserves to be outed.
K4JRB, CQ 160 contest manager, I hope you are paying attention.
73,
Steve, N2IC
