[SECC] Fw: Petition Regarding Skimmer

I am with Rick and Gary. IMHO it is WAY too early to be signing
petitions for or against.  I'd like the opportunity to try it in a real
contest and se/hear other's views based on on-the-air trials.  I'm
interested in it - hard not to be, but not ready to condemn it just yet.

Hi Gary and SECC...I am in the same interest about skimmer...I am not
going to condem it yet...it needs to be used in a contest and actually
see it's uses...for my part as a M-M , it will maybe fill in some info
that packet might be missing...but as with packet it has to be used with
a grain of salt...it might miss-copy a call, and like packet all calls
need to be copied and verified!! I refuse to jump on the bandwagon of
the petition folks quite yet!! I am taking a wait and see attitude
here....

Skimmer is certainly a topic worthy of debate about it's place in the
rules,
but before I jump to a conclusion, I'd like to see real-world data on
contesting with Skimmer -- maybe even try it myself.

I recall similar debates about spotting nets/packet, computer logging,
SO2R -- even 'hired gun' guest ops.
