Hello,

yes and no......

after your CQ a " " (space) is required, then the call will be detected for
sure.

If not or no "CQ ","QRZ ", "TEST " is at the end:
RCKskimmer has an option for special keywords what must be set by hand of
the skimmer OP. I case of the WPX RTTY the best keyword would be WPX  .
Additional the skimmer OP must enable this functionality. Then your call  "
WPX WK6I WK6I " will be detected.
