[RTTY] Formatting your CQ call for detection by the RTTY skimmer, RCKskimmer

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

Hello Walter...

Thank you for the development of your RTTY Skimmer software!

I suggest you give consideration to another format that is used very 
often during RTTY contesting. That would be these forms:

"WPX K0RC CQ "
"CQWW K0RC CQ "
"BARTG K0RC CQ "
"JARTS K0RC CQ "
"SARTG K0RC CQ "
"NAQP K0RC CQ "
"TARA K0RC CQ "

Or maybe a simple "K0RC CQ" detected twice within 15 seconds would be 
enough to capture ANY contest CQ solicitation.

I think I understand why there is "QRZ K0RC " and not "CQ K0RC " as a 
capture string. The "CQ CALLSIGN" would likely capture a station calling 
me in the 7 examples above. In that case HIS/HER callsign would be 
posted as a spot instead of mine, the CQing station actual.
