Art,
I don't claim to know all, but it strikes me as strange that a callsign
lookup on any database could be against any rules. The nearest thing I can
think of that may be anywhere near related in the rules of some contests is
forbidding "Assisted" where contesters follow a cluster to find contacts
that are currently reported as being on. Callsign lookup does not seem to
me to be anywhere close to using a cluster to find contacts. But what do I
know:)
73 & God Bless
