3. Working split in a DX contest where you want to listen for calls on
your own transmit frequency as well as where you're listening (e.g. on
40m, where the phone bands don't overlap between countries)

4. Busting a DX pile-up where they're "listening 10-20 up", by
monitoring who they're responding to, so you can position yourself to be
next.
