LOL Tom... No roger beep, but similar :-)
I'm sure you would rather have nothing, but would you prefer self-spots
over the internet clogging the system with spots that you cannot copy, or
some HS CW every few minutes or so during an SSB contest? I'm certainly
not advocating for this on every transmission.
There are challenges. Most Skimmer receivers are 192 KHz wide -- so there
would have to be SSB-band Skimmers that listened in appropriate parts of
the band, listening for these CW ids.
