The trouble with using a list like master.dta is that it only contains a
fraction of the known active calls, never mind the odd birds you get in
WPX. Instead, both CW Skimmer and Skimmer Server use a file of callsign
*patterns* painstakingly derived by VE3NEA from 11 years of DX cluster
spots. For example, a pattern like DL#@@@ (DL, any number, and any
three letters) is rated as extremely common, while DR#@ and PA##@ are
rated as uncommon. That *doesn't* mean that DR1A or PA33A won't be
spotted, but Skimmer will want to see more repetitions before it
"believes" them. I think it would be fair to say those callsigns got
their fair share this weekend.
The RBN does not do any "tell me twice" test such as Mike suggests - we
leave that up to the user and his/her node filter setup.

*May* then be compared to a database of known calls and then
redistributed to the RBN. I believe RBN is configured so that it
takes one or two other Skimmer stations to report the same call before
sending it to the entire network.
One of the RBN guys can probably do a better job at detailing the
entire process of how a spot goes from a skimmer receiver to the RBN
network.
J6M was not a known call in CQ WW CW in 2011 and we were spotted just
fine.

This weekend I participated the WPX with a special call sing.
And that was a big mistake.
Because the skimmers don't know the call, they spotted me with a
wrong call
more times than you can believe.
So there will be a lot of stations who logged me wrong.
Also I operate assisted, and usage the RBN to work multi's.
Bud this is also proved to be impossible.
Time and time and time, the spot was nos the station calling.
When you realize that there are plenty of opp's that don't even know CW,
there must be a million busted QSO's in the logs.
It is with great pleasure that this weekend make me realize that the
RBN is
now way near a humane operator.
Let alone a good operator.
