[Skimmertalk] Number in suffix

[N4ZR]

Doesn't surprise me. The pattern file does not have any entries with the 
pattern #@#@## (where # is a numeric wild-card and @ is an alphabetic). 
Even if Skimmer Server were told that these patterns were OK, it appears 
that many cluster servers that are out there now will reject these spots 
as busted. I'm afraid this isn't as simple as changing a pattern file, 
because national administrations are issuing strange new calls almost 
weekly, and their creativity knows no bounds hi.
