This was taken to an extreme in a recent Phone Sweepstakes contest. WP3R, a 
perennial winner, was in need of a KL7 multiplier on Sunday afternoon. Every 
minute or so he would ask if there was a KL7 on frequency. That might be okay if 
he had a big pileup that was keeping a weak KL7 from being heard, but that 
wasn't the case. Guess what happened a few minutes later ? Some good Samaritan 
came along, "unsolicited", and told him the exact frequency where a KL7 was 
running stations.

With the SDR technology out there, you can record an entire band, for the entire 
contest, with a few hundred gigabytes of disk space.
