[CQ-Contest] Spotting Errors

[Andy Faber]

Robert,
  That strategy would be a last resort these days in CQWW due to the crowded 
bands.  Usually the situation clears itself up in a few minutes.  But one 
reason that it could be a good idea is that actually when you get 
mis-spotted, then there is a double whammy, because a station that isn't a 
dupe now may have you with the wrong callsign, thus setting up a potential 
future dupe, hi.
  There is probably no good answer.  But I do get annoyed when the station 
duping you is a big gun who should be listening to you before making blind 
calls.
  73, andy, ae6y

Andy,

When it becomes apparent you've been spotted wrong, besides laying on the
QSO B4 macro is there the option of simply QSYing 20 KHz and begin running
there? What are the trade-offs?
