[CQ-Contest] Spacing note for RBN users

[ktfrog007 at aol.com]

It occurred to me one day that jiggering the spacing to have YT3 decoded occasionally as TJ3 might be a nice strategy to attract folks to the YT3 station.  They go for the TJ3, but it's not there so might as well work the YT3.
In other words, it could be deliberate.

Pete N4ZR says:
"[Skimmer] relies on proper CW spacing to determine what is part of a callsign and what isn't"

In December there is the highly enjoyable 9A CW Contest.
For two years in a row my bandmap has been showing a red CQ9A. But there never is the Mardeira multiplier when I go listen. Next to the red CQ9A there is always a spot for the same station...

There have been quite a few TJ3 spots in the recent contests, each time along with a YT3 station...

Circumstantial evidence to prove Pete's point.
