I tried a cluster feed from RTTY Skimmer at the weekend, just out of 
interest in something new, but found it disappointing. It delivered 
plenty of spots, but every single one of the new QSOs and multipliers 
came from conventional cluster spots.

Very often the frequency was found to be occupied by a different station 
from the one that was spotted, so when Skimmer decodes a QSO it isn't 
always successful in identifying the correct 'owner' of the frequency.

We already have the flash mobs with the conventional cluster.  On RTTY, 
being on the same frequency might even be an improvement :-)


But none of this is an excuse to give up!
