Yes, the SSB skimmer and QoS goals may sound almost impossible to
achieve right now, but I recall when President Kennedy said... /"I
believe this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before
this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon//and returning him
safely to earth."/ In that context, you and I should see technology
triumph over these next challenges too!

You got that right, Bob. The RTTY Skimmer case is simple by
comparison. An individual RBN Skimmer may handle 50-60,000 spots
during a CQWW weekend. now imagine how much overhead would be
required for each of them to process each one of those signals across
a 5-10 KHz bandwidth to determine whether it is too broad, rather than
sticking to a single 50-Hz decoding channel. I'd put this one in the
same unattainable class as the SSB Skimmer, at least until we all have
supercomputers in the shack.

...Inserting a QoS value into the RBN distribution is most likely
easier than developing a QoS detection system. That said, I recall
when the CW skimmer and RBN were being developed, thinking to myself
"Geez, it would really be great if the someone would create an RTTY
skimmer too." The RTTY system is here now.
