This is great news Alex. I am looking forward to running skimmer spots in SP
DX RTTY next weekend. I'll report what I find. Thank you and all the RTTY
skimmer station operators who continue to work to make a better RTTY skimmer
experience for all of us.
EP2A is back on 30 meter RTTY today. Good luck!

Hi Don,
The problem of spotting the non-CQ'ing stations is now solved, and some
other sources of incorrect spots are eliminated. The alpha team will test
the new version of RTTY Skimmer Server in the SP DX contest, and, if we do
not discover any problems, this version will be released to the users.
Once this happens, the calling stations will no longer be spotted on the RBN
network, but you will still be able to use the pileup cracking method you
have described if you run a local skimmer, configured to produce both CQ and
DE spots for your band map.
