[CQ-Contest] Busted Reversed Beacon Network spots

RBN or skimmers decode the cw being received.  Those decoded calls *May* 
then be compared to a database of known calls and then redistributed to 
the RBN.  I believe RBN is configured so that it takes one or two other 
Skimmer stations to report the same call before sending it to the entire 
network.

One of the RBN guys can probably do a better job at detailing the entire 
process of how a spot goes from a skimmer receiver to the RBN network.

J6M was not a known call in CQ WW CW in 2011 and we were spotted just fine.
