Many times this is caused by RBN/Cluster spots.  This has been going on 
for a very long time.  Those in the know, know to send up or down just a 
bit and get worked.  It seems that radios are getting better and people 
have learned how to actually calibrate their radios properly.

 I noticed the same thing, and it wasn't just the big multi-ops. Often 
all about the same strength on exactly the same frequency. Alas, it 
seems to be SOP in some parts of the world.

 I did Saturday night and a bit of Sunday morning at W3LPL.  When I 
got home
Sunday I did one "fresh meat" run on each band, 10M, 15M, 20M, 40M.  
Great
rates, for 15 minutes or so.  However (quoting myself):
A comment/complaint: Some of the European Big Guns (especially the
multi-op's) were VERY aggressive callers.  I'd send a partial call, and
several other stations would keep calling.  I guess they needed the MD
multiplier.
