I don't know that I agree with that.
Before the world wide clusters, when it was done on 2 meters with some
UHF linking around the state, you could tell when you were spotted in
different areas.  You would get a pile of 9's ..... and then a pile of
1's and 2's.  Not the massive pileups that you see today.
So it doesn't look the same anymore - at least not from the other side
of the pileup.
