I'm surprised that contest sponsors haven't gotten on this with technology, not 
just for multis but for SO2R/3R/4R as well.  There is an inexpensive gadget out 
there called the Time Machine 
(http://www.expandedspectrumsystems.com/prod2.html) that permits recording 80 
KHz of any amateur band for 6 hours at a pop.  Set up two with some care 
(making sure both VCRs were time-synched to the same TV station) and you could 
document this sort of rule violations with absolute impartiality and accuracy. 
Just the threat of such a thing might clean up a lot of the violations.
