I extracted this little snippet from Jim's excellent posting, because I 
just had an evil thought ...

Frequently, late in a DX contest I'm S&Ping for additional mults, and 
typically find some juicy ones on 15 or 10 that are going widely 
unnoticed.  Since I never operate assisted when I'm serious, the thought 
occurred to me -- why not spot these goodies when I find them, so that the 
howling packet multitudes will descend and lessen the probability of my 
unassisted competition finding/working them, before they give up and QRT in 
disgust.
