Someone using Packet surreptitiously would be a fool to jump on the
spots right after they hit the screen. However, it would be pretty
easy just to let them collect in the band map for a while and work
them into a "tuning the band for mults" S&P session. Short of having
a busted call in the log that corresponds to a busted packet spot, it
would be tough to catch.
Also, don't forget that with only an occasional exception, single-ops
outscore SOAs in most contests.
