The issue of "legal" is better asked after having read and understood the rules
for the event as published by the sponsor. Every one is different. Applying
one sponsor's rules to other sponsor's events is meaningless.
For instance, ARRL contests prohibit 'log-submitting participants' (a powerful
phrase and highly exploitable loophole) from using one transceiver under more
than one call sign in a contest. VHF Sprint contests have no such rule in
place.
The issue of "ethical" is entirely different, and is quite complex and
subjective; even arguable (some believe that this is the reason for the
existence of e-mail lists <g>)
