There might not be any proof, but if what I suggested happens multiple 
times throughout a contest, something's fishy.  Here's 2 different 
scenarios, assume I'm single op high power unassisted category for both.

1.  I work gw4ble at 17:01z on 14023, then 9a1a at 17:02z 14024, then 
s9ss at 17:03z on14027, then vy1ja at 17:04z at 14028 then dl2kp at 
17:05z on 14030.  gw4ble appeared for the first time this contest on the 
cluster at 13:27z, 9a1a at 14:56z, s9ss at 17:01z, vy1ja at 16:58z and 
dl2kp at 12:02z. 

2. I work s9ss at 17:03z on 14027, then vy1ja at 17:04z on 14028, then 
zs4ak at 17:05z on 21013 then hc8n at 17:06z on 28087, then kl7ra at 
17:07z on 14043.  s9ss appeared for the first time this contest on the 
cluster at 17:01z, vy1ja at 16:58z, zs4ak at 17:03z, hc8n at 17:03z, and 
kl7ra at 17:04z.

What do you think happened in these two cases?
