This is going OT a little, but I was reading an article in the latest CQ to
arrive here about how some contest logs are being disqualified for using
assistance (e.g. DX Cluster or CW Skimmer) in an unassisted category. The
article appeared to be saying: "don't try to do this, we can tell." Which
made me wonder: "how?"

If contest adjudicators can spot undeclared use of the cluster because a log
contains sudden jumps of frequency to work a DX station, isn't there a risk
that use of a bandmap by an unassisted station could be wrongly detected as
use of the cluster and result in disqualification?
