[CQ-Contest] Summarizing the Skimmer Accuracy Thread

[Igor Sokolov]

Brett,
Every contest I run into several stations on CW who actually transmitt 3 
signals. Main signal is usually 59+30 or more and two side bands spaced 1-2 
kHz from the main can be as loud as 59.
No wonder, close by skimmers decode then on these sideband frequencies.
73, Igor UA9CDC
