[RTTY] RTTY skimmer observations - long

[iw1ayd - Salvatore Irato]

Hi all.
Just for the fun of it. I was at home some days of the last and I was 
doing some radio activity out of preparing for the RU.
As may be anybody have I also have a brag tape macro. It remember me 
when I had large tapes binders for daily work.
But today I don't fire that much that macro. The fun was that the last 
time I fired it last week I get the second of two RTTY skimmer spots. 
All the two where separated by some minutes ... One was for me, the 
second one was for N1MM. Right on my QRG. But I wasn't in QSO with him, 
quite sure!
It was due to my brag macro where is written:

"SOFTWARE IS N1MM LOGGER WITH MMTTY AND 2TONE"

The string fragment " N1MM " triggered the RTTY skimmer that was 
receiving me ... Well, I will not change it, the logger I mean.

I agreed with the general discussion about the skimmer. I like those 
spots, they are boot a metering for activity/ies and a pointer for some 
"look at it calls". All those are anyway invaluable adding informations 
in both ways, the live data and the raw huge files. having more time it 
will be interesting, even if there isn't an absolute meaning compare two 
stations running also by the amount of spots, places/distances from 
there th spots comes come and several other parameters. I repeat even if 
there aren't precise and repeatable metrics to be applied, it would be 
interesting. Sort of bigger, timely, WSPR RXing reports.
