[Skimmertalk] Duplicate Spots

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

If you have two skimmer instances monitoring the same frequencies, they
should never post under the same Skimmer callsign, otherwise the reports
will be quite useless for data analysis, because the signal reports will be
bouncing all over the place and you can't tell which report to use.
Eliminating dupes alone doesn't solve this problem, because the
same station could be reporting with two different signal strengths every
few minutes, depending on which skimmer heard it first.

If the two SDRs or two Skimmers are monitoring the same band segments, use
3V8SS-1 for one and 3V8SS-2 for the other.  You need to run two independent
copies of Aggregator to make this work right, since the posted callsign is
determined by the first SkimSrv.ini, not by Aggregator.

For more details explaining how to do this, please review this post by
