What nearly everybody has missed (I'll assume some see it, but didn't say 
anything yet)
is the HUGE benefit that Skimmer will have for use by the contest sponsors.

I envision having Skimmers globally positioned and set to "copy everything" 
(not just CQ's, not
just QRZ's, not just replies, etc)....that's right copy everything it can 
"hear."

This will then create a full "map" of virtually everyone in the 
contest...exactly where (QRG) and 
exactly when.  If they were running, S+P, or, ummm, doing both at the same time.

Backed up by time machines, this super-enhanced ability for capturing it all 
will lend itself to
some of the best log checking that has ever been possible.

The problem with a Time Machine by itself is that we still had to "tune the 
band" to "hear" and
log everybody...just like actual contesting.  But not any more!

Do I sound excited?  You bet!

As for Skimmer use by entrants, you can read my previous posts for my opinion.

I feel so enabled!
