[CQ-Contest] Opinion: SO-unassisted should not be using CW Skimmer

[Mark Bailey]

Hi Tor:

I, for one, don't agree - I see little difference between "local" 
skimmers and the worldwide network.  To the operator, they look the same 
during a contest.

Some people only think of "skimmer" as the worldwide network- but so far no contest makes a distinction between the two cases.
