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.
