That will be the real contest for a comparison against skimmer at his
real strong point. Think about sunday afternoon in WPX scanning the
bands through all the calls already heard a zillion times during the
last hours. And then imagine anyone sitting in front of a
skimmer-screen: he may have a few busted calls on it. But he needs one
look per band (if he went the miles to install things properly) for all
those unworked stations you have to scan for (it is biiig fun but
necessarily slower, isn´t it?).
Hmmm, perhaps some club may try such a comparison this weekend, i.e. who
will get the most calls out of 20m in 5 minutes - compared to the
reverse beacon network?
