Well, if we're talking about CW Skimmer itself and not the RBN, the CW Skimmer waterfall display would clearly show if simultaneous CQ's were being sent by the same station. You could even, of course, record an entire contest and play it back later to look for such behavior if the RBN spots were to raise suspicions. All it would require is that the CW Skimmers feeding the RBN be set up to record.

Sorry, Charly, but the only way to do that is to review multi-band time-stamped recordings - otherwise you can'tbe sure that the transmissions overlap. CW Skimmer software is cumulative, so exactly when a spot is sent is not an indication of precisely when the station was heard.

The use of multi-band recordings is in its infancy, but much like radar in police cars, I expect that its presence will actually deter abuses.

The first advantage I can think of for the Skimmer is that it is now
possible to see that some stations are CQing on two bands at exactly the
same moment in time.

I am surprised that some are not showing up as being on three or more bands
at the same moment.  Contesting has gone further into the pig lot.
