[CQ-Contest] Skimmer

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

Dave,

That's and interesting idea... but it only slightly shifts the mode of 
operating. Now a contest will be like the kids game where the bunny pops up 
out on one-of-many holes and they need to hit it with the plastic hammer to 
ring the bell.

Skimmer will still collect all the callsigns it hears on the bands, and with 
a QSY rule, you only need to wait for the signal to "pop" onto the bandmap 
so you can "hit it" with a mouse click! The operator may actually spend more 
time arranging a "queue list" of the stations received to direct the 
computer which order you want to work them. No clicking at all.
