It all depends on whether individual RBN contributors have adjusted their CW Skimmer.ini or Skimserv.ini file as we suggested before CQWWCW, to extend the range that is decoded. Alex originally tried to exclude areas on each band where either data or ssb might result in junk spots, so his default .ini files have this limitation.

It appears the skimmers are only listening to the bottom 50 kHz segment
of the 160m band. I found NØHJZ on 1854, the old fashioned way...
turning the knob on my transceiver.

So if you're going to be CQing / RUNning... and want the benefit of
being 'auto spotted'... you will want to stick in the lower 50 kHz of
the band. At least that's what I am seeing here using the AE5E node 90
minutes into the contest.
