[CQ-Contest] Summarizing the Skimmer Accuracy Thread

[Ivo Pezer E73A/9A3A]

I agree with Tom's comments - with the skimmers/clusters used widely 
nowadays, having the same penalty for a busted call may also be 
reconsidered. Penalty for logging a busted callsing by 
clickonspot-F4-F2-enter IMO should not be the same as a penalty for missing 
a dot due to QRM, QRN, QSB etc.

Clicing on a spot and hitting F4, without an effort to check who is on the 
other side, especially when more and more stations ID less as the pile up is 
bigger, in my opinion is more severe negligence than missing unintentionally 
a letter or hitting a wrong letter on a keyboard. The only "skill' assisted 
op. demonstrated is clicking on a spot sent either by the remote skimmer or 
cluster, so additional penalty should be for logging a busted callsign 
without validating it.
