[CQ-Contest] CQ WW Update

[K1TTT]

After I first sent this question k3est replied that he was traveling and
forwarded the request to "others"...  how about it "others"?  can we proceed
with using skimmers the way we have in other contests or are you going to
stick by this new weird distinction between the RBN and other sources of
skimmer spots?
