OK maybe I am a bit naive but what exactly is a skimmer?
This coming weekend I will be taking my mast down for some seriously
needed guy rope replacement. Then maybe I can get something up for 30,
17 and 12 meters. 17 and 12 meters, I have never operated on before.

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,

if your signal is weak it might be confusing to anyone with poor copy.

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.
