qrz.com provides name, location and lots of other data that would possibly
reveal exchange information, depending on contest. That breaks the rules.SCP
only provides a list of possible calls based on what is typed into the call
sign field.73,Ed W0YK

Reflector <cq-contest@contesting.com> Subject: Re: [CQ-Contest] Looking up on
QRZ.com Art,I don't claim to know all, but it strikes me as strange that a
callsignlookup on any database could be against any rules. The nearest thing I
canthink of that may be anywhere near related in the rules of some contests
isforbidding "Assisted" where contesters follow a cluster to find contactsthat
are currently reported as being on. Callsign lookup does not seem tome to be
anywhere close to using a cluster to find contacts. But what do Iknow:)73 & God
