But then, why are call history files or super check partial files not
illegal? For that matter, cluster-derived spot information (even if
only the callsign) isn't derived from on-the-air activity by the
recipient. Seems to me like this is a bridge long crossed.

Looking up a callsign on QRZ can be considered assisted if the contest uses any
of the information provided as part of an exchange; name or state are the most
common, counties are used in state QSO parties.

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:)

On the N1MM reflector somebody asked about how to use the "QRZ" button
during the contest for calls that don't appear in the "check" window. I
guess he was talking about the SCP or CHF data files loaded into N1MM.
A few people commented that looking it up on QRZ.com (or some other online
database??) during the contest was against the rules.
I don't see any difference between using an online databas and using SCP
and CHF (except that SCP/CHF is faster).
What do you wise people think?
