Bret, without data and specific numbers this is all just arm-waving. If
you'd like to take a typical non-contest day (you can download each
day's data from the Internet), and flag the busted frequencies, calls
etc., I'll be happy to take a look at it.

I still find it interesting that on WEEKDAYS, I found so many RBN
spots of EXACTLY THE SAME CALL, at EXACTLY THE SAME TIME (to the
SECOND), on either another frequency on the same band, or on another
band altogether, than where other skimmers were spotting that call.
Maybe the bands are full of dualing-CQs & key clicks & whatever.
Admittedly, other than for a couple of weeks & three contests I
haven't been on the air in YEARS, so maybe things have changed &
transmitting on two frequencies on the same band, or on two different
bands - SIMULTANEOUSLY - is the norm OUTSIDE contests now.
Dilute with all the traffic on a contest weekend & bingo - problem
gone! ;^)
PEOPLE I doubt would spot so many OBVIOUSLY busted calls like all
those EKs, nor consistent, predictable busted frequencies - even if
they had to enter them all manually. To me, this really stands out.
Sometimes they might not think about what they are doing, but people
have the capability - skimmers don't & it shows.
