I noticed a couple, but really not many. I have no way to know if the vy
few bloopers I saw were generated by the RBN or a human.
Those 15-20% contest I am assisted, I connect to VE7CC which I find very
reliable and I know he carries skimmer spots.
What I did notice was the times that I used the VFO, I could find EU
stations that were not (ever?) spotted here before the RBN snagged them.
That may be a product of the fact I am in the very NorthEast of NA (VY2 and
VO1 excepted) and there are no close skimmers to me. The closest ones are
WZ7I, KM3T, W1NT a few hundred kms away.
One call I "watched for" but didn't see this weekend (but I have no doubt
I'll see it next big contest) is YT3X busted as TJ3X (which seems like an
odd bust..I have always just wondered if someone, somewhere is just playing
a mean joke on poor YT3X)
Inquiring minds.

differentiate, I connect up-why not?)
