(sure, you wait for hundreds of posts to say the one sensible thing that

(slightly more seriously, given the huge size of many packet pileups &
the inability of many callers to stop calling when the DX answers
someone else -- I wonder if the goal of the serious contestant in
spotting a mult is to distract the competition, forcing them to waste
time trying to work the mult through the huge pile of continuous
callers?)
