[CQ-Contest] Summarizing the Skimmer Accuracy Thread

[VR2BrettGraham]

I still find it interesting that on WEEKDAYS, I found so many RBN spots 
of EXACTLY THE SAME CALL, at EXACTLY THE SAME TIME (to the SECOND), on 
either another frequency on the same band, or on another band 
altogether, than where other skimmers were spotting that call.

Maybe the bands are full of dualing-CQs & key clicks & whatever.  
Admittedly, other than for a couple of weeks & three contests I haven't 
been on the air in YEARS, so maybe things have changed & transmitting on 
two frequencies on the same band, or on two different bands - 
SIMULTANEOUSLY - is the norm OUTSIDE contests now.

Dilute with all the traffic on a contest weekend & bingo - problem 
gone!  ;^)

PEOPLE I doubt would spot so many OBVIOUSLY busted calls like all those 
EKs, nor consistent, predictable busted frequencies - even if they had 
to enter them all manually.  To me, this really stands out.  Sometimes 
they might not think about what they are doing, but people have the 
capability - skimmers don't & it shows.
