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
