I noticed in a small pile-up on a CW station in a contest recently
that the station had a large number of stations calling him zero-beat
and a small number of stations calling down about 200 Hz. He was
working the people who were calling him down. He actually started to
develop a pileup there, so some people were listening.
I called him up above the pileup about 200 Hz and worked him there, so
he was tuning around a bit.
