I have extracted some download-friendly segments of the 160 meter CW Skimmer
recordings from the PJ2T station on Curacao on the first night of the 2009
CQWW 160 Meter CW Contest.
The recordings are of a 96-kHz segment of 160 meters centered on 1.850 MHz.
These were recorded on the PJ2T 1000-foot Europe Beverage using an RFSpace
SDR-IQ receiver and CW Skimmer. Please remember, as the DX callsigns build
up in the callsign list, that this was recorded at 12 degrees North of the
Equator!
Depending on your download bandwidth and free time, select from:

These can be played back using CW Skimmer. You can download a
fully-functional 30-day demo from http://www.dxatlas.com/CwSkimmer/ .
Note that the PJ2T transmitted signal, running the piles, clobbers the
bandwidth regularly, but that CW Skimmer still plucks many, many callsigns
from the band. For example, in the 2-minute extract above, using the
"paranoid" filtering (using the MASTER SCP file), there are 85 callsigns
spotted including 26 countries.
