Yeah, and now they are coming out with a RTTY Skimmer.

I tried a cluster feed from RTTY Skimmer at the weekend, just out of interest in something new, but found it disappointing. It delivered plenty of spots, but every single one of the new QSOs and multipliers came from conventional cluster spots.

Very often the frequency was found to be occupied by a different station from the one that was spotted, so when Skimmer decodes a QSO it isn't always successful in identifying the correct 'owner' of the frequency.

That will be cool
when you have 50 stations all click and call on the exact same frequency
like they do on CW :-)  73

We already have the flash mobs with the conventional cluster. On RTTY, being on the same frequency might even be an improvement :-)


But none of this is an excuse to give up!
