I have definitely heard of some contesters doing that on SSB - intentionally cranking up the drive level to the linear, hoping the resulting splatter will clear out the channel. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the CW stations are doing it too. Kind of like high-sticking in hockey. Illegal but effective.
