[CQ-Contest] Seeking Skimmer Experience in This Fall's Contests

Now that CQWW CW is behind us, I'm under the gun to produce my promised 
article for the US National Contest Journal on people's specific, 
real-contest experience with CW Skimmer.  I know that the program was used 
at a number of single-op assisted stations, as well as at a variety of 
multi-ops.  What I don't know is whether *you* think it worked for you, and 
why.

PLEASE DO NOT REPLY on the REFLECTOR - send your input directly to me 
(n4zr at contesting.com).

Did you use Skimmer?  In what contest, and what class?  What hardware and 
software setup?  What worked well, and what didn't?  Be as specific and 
detailed as you like (or as brief as you want).  If you considered using 
Skimmer but decided not to, that's important information too - please tell 
me why you made that decision.

I will compile a compendium of responses to all these questions, as the 
basis for the article.  If there is interest, I'll find a place to post the 
full compendium, like the reflector summaries of yore, before we all had 
bandwidth to burn.

If you'd rather not have your call associated with your input, or if you 
would rather not have your input included in the compendium, please be sure 
to tell me.

Thanks in advance!

73, Pete N4ZR
