There needs to be some way to let people know in real time, while  
operating, that you are using a skimmer.  Maybe just say so periodically,  
although 
if your signal is weak it might be confusing to anyone with poor  copy.

I  attempted to advertise the use of skimmer and sticking on frequency

I think if more dxpeditions used RTTY skimmer and advertised  that fact it 
would end up making for much higher Q rates.  In  addition to the general 
need to have dxpediton ops who actually had some  serious RTTY experience 
but 
that's a different  subject.
