I know there is contest this weekend and I hear lots of active stations calling CQ.  At the end of each QSO I hear the stations giving a signal report then what I guess is the # of the contact as it relates to the contest.  I'm not trying to accumulate points but would like to make some contacts.  Would it be frowned upon to make contacts with a station that is in the contest even though i'm not participating in the contest?

Nope no problem with that. I just picked up a new entity a minute ago who was in the contest...I run it like I'm in the contest and give everyone a number starting at one. My logging software makes it fairly simple.

I need a simple logging program. I tried to get LoTW working but it seems like a real PITA.  So I just manually enter contacts on QRZ.

Last night at 0000:01Z I gave every QSO a number.

The first one was 001, the second 002.
