[CQ-Contest] Why were there so many busted skimmer spots during WAE?

Interesting question, Barry.  Any particular pattern you noticed, like 
WAE appended to the callsign, or whatever?  There have been no changes 
to CW Skimmer in years.

Something to consider is connecting to a reliable AR Cluster V6 node 
like NC7J and activating the CT1BOH extensions.  ARC V6 itself also 
includes various filters that can be used to be significantly more 
"skeptical" about the spots you are sent.
