Right, they would be check logs. If you're not competing, that's 
perfectly OK.

Many contest rules, including this one, are intended to prevent 
operators from "gaming the system."  The intent of this one has to do 
with artificially boosting the scores of a club by doing exactly what is 
described here.

One of my favorite contests, the North American QSO Party, limits power 
to 100W, and most stations on Field Day, another favorite, run 100W or 
less, and the Field Day rules give more points for low power and QRP. 
These rules make the contest a lot more fun for most stations, and 
violating them by running high power is NOT OK.
