What about if you are deaf in one ear and can't use a real so2r setup
effectively??? Is using the skimmer on the 2nd radio assisted??  Or a
prosthetic device to let you compete near the level of a real so2r
operator??

Does it help or hurt contesting if I can go s/o unassisted by making use of
the skimmer to help my phone brain copy more cw for longer in a contest?
