CW Skimmer is a new application of existing technology (CW decoders,
broadband receivers, panadapters, additional receiver, etc.) that
allows an operator to be more productive IN ANOTHER AREA of the
contest art. Other than the manner of presentation it breaks no
new ground.
A local Skimmer is to CW Decoders and SOnR as computer logging
is to the paper logs and dupe sheet. It breaks no new ground
in function ... only in form.
