N1MM already randomized incoming spots for that reason…..

During some of my modest runs in the CW ARRL DX contest last weekend, it
seemed many of the callers were on exactly the same frequency, making it
really hard to pick out a call. This phenomenon seems to be getting
worse. I wonder if this is because many of them are just clicking on a
spot, and modern radios have such great frequency accuracy. It would
help if operators using this technique would use the XIT to offset
50-100 Hz. (No more, or you'll end up too close to the neighbors.) If
it doesn't already, perhaps someday software could introduce a random
offset.
There were also, of course, some callers way off frequency. It's best
to know just where your transmit frequency is, and to place it
strategically.
