Is scheduling (making SKEDs) before the contest permitted?
As in other contests, this is not accepted. 24. Please, interpret Rule 5.1.5 “It is not allowed to use other calls for keeping the frequency on other bands, for making skeds, for moving mults and for DX-spotting”. There are a few examples for better understanding. MOST (or SO) station runs 20m and leaves a frequency for 15 minutes for the other band. In order to keep run frequency, another station with another callsign starts operate here holding the frequency until the run OP comes back. Similarly, another station operates other bands and asks a mult station QSY to run station frequency. Self-spotting with another call is also the same cheating case.
