Sorry, Charly, but the only way to do that is to review multi-band 
time-stamped recordings - otherwise you can'tbe sure that the 
transmissions overlap.  CW Skimmer software is cumulative, so exactly 
when a spot is sent is not an indication of precisely when the station 
was heard.

The use of multi-band recordings is in its infancy, but much like radar 
in police cars, I expect that its presence will actually deter abuses.
