Fair point, Bjorn. However out of ~145 nodes currently active, only 11
report that they are using "minimal" validation, while 11 others report
they are using "aggressive".

Unfortunately it seems some skimmer operators use the "minimal" setting
rather
than "normal" for callsign validation in CW Skimmer Server. Probably
because they
like large spot counts. Or just out of ignorance.
It's enough with one single skimmer with a good antenna to be set like this
to litter the
cluster with busted spots.

Interesting question, Barry. Any particular pattern you noticed, like
WAE appended to the callsign, or whatever? There have been no changes
to CW Skimmer in years.
Something to consider is connecting to a reliable AR Cluster V6 node
like NC7J and activating the CT1BOH extensions. ARC V6 itself also
includes various filters that can be used to be significantly more
"skeptical" about the spots you are sent.

Title says it all. I've never seen so many bad skimmer spots.
