In my opinion CW IS data mode and machine operating right from the beginning. They used a pencil to print dots and dashes on a paper strip and did NOT decode by ear 73 Peter If you consider CW to be

This may be true SO2R, but one would be hard pressed to give up a good run frequency SO1R for a possible multiplier. You're just as likely to pick up the odd multiplier running... Maybe it's differen

Joe, Your assumption is wrong. Using Skimmer would not be cheating, but it clearly is assistance. The CQWW rules are quite clear when it says "The use of DX alerting assistance of any kind places the

In all the debate over use, misuse, abuse, neglect, and classification of the skimmer, one thought keeps coming to mind. Has anyone actually tried it yet in a major CW contest environment? I know it'

Yes, let single operators use any technology they wish. Agreed entirely. If they use something that looks like packet and smells like packet, call them assisted. Skimmer looks like a goose, walks lik

If you are running Skimmer at your own station and it hears the station, you should be able to work it. Those in 8-land, 9-land, 0-land, etc. often miss short openings because they don't think a ban

Skimmer is no more "assistance" than a memory keyer or computer logging. I'm sure the rules are written on the assumption that assistance must come from another person - either another operator in t
