I extracted this little snippet from Jim's excellent posting, because I
just had an evil thought ...
Frequently, late in a DX contest I'm S&Ping for additional mults, and
typically find some juicy ones on 15 or 10 that are going widely
unnoticed. Since I never operate assisted when I'm serious, the thought
occurred to me -- why not spot these goodies when I find them, so that the
howling packet multitudes will descend and lessen the probability of my
unassisted competition finding/working them, before they give up and QRT in
disgust.
