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

[Jukka Klemola]

Aye.
I second Mark's view.

Amount of data equals a networked device, but only with stations that
are heard at the location.
Very powerful tool !

And, a fair-play based rule is the Skimmers should be networked.

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