There is something seriously wrong with a large number of skimmers at
the moment, because *nobody* in that pileup was sending "CQ" either
before or after their callsigns. 

But it wasn't the skimmers who stretched out the pileup "way up past
14125". The operator consistently replied to callers at the upper edge
of the pileup, and kept on moving HF.
