[CQ-Contest] Handicap For Dirty Rigs

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

You got that right, Bob.  The RTTY Skimmer case is simple by 
comparison.  An individual RBN Skimmer may handle 50-60,000 spots during 
a CQWW weekend.  now imagine how much overhead would be required for 
each of them to process each one of those signals across a 5-10 KHz 
bandwidth to determine whether it is too broad, rather than sticking to 
a single 50-Hz decoding channel.  I'd put this one in the same 
unattainable class as the SSB Skimmer, at least until we all have 
supercomputers in the shack.

73, Pete N4ZR
