Alex, VE3NEA, is the guy who writes the Skimmer code.
He has made two postings in this thread, which, if I understand them correctly,
are as follows:
If CQ'ing stations want to put the letters CQ at the end of their CQ message,
they should consider changing to "CQ{period}" That is “CQ.” Alex says the
program will ignore that three-character string.
Stations who are S&P’ing should send a CR/LF before their call sign. Alex says
that would be helpful.
Alex is also working on other methods to improve the CQ/S&P uncertainty.

Subject: Re: [RTTY] Waterfall and CQ conundrum
Ok - so don't use QRZ - got that - Test is too long - got that too. So, if we
don't use CQ and Test is too long, what is the alternative other than just
waiting for the Skimmer folks to figure it out?
I don't use Skimmer myself but I can appreciate it's value. Whether or not a
person uses Skimmer isn't the issue if I understand it right. It's this thing
of Skimmer picking up CQ just in front of a S&P'ers callsign and then posting
that on the cluster as someone's Run frequency when actually that callsign
should only be associated with the S&P'er. Am I still confused? or just
Dense! I Do want to operate correctly even though I am just a Little Pistol
providing contacts for the Big Boys! I am posting this because there are, no
doubt, lots of others out there reading this who are just too shy to say
anything. de W4PJW
