[RTTY] I may have missed something

There needs to be some way to let people know in real time, while  
operating, that you are using a skimmer.  Maybe just say so periodically,  although 
if your signal is weak it might be confusing to anyone with poor  copy.

I  attempted to advertise the use of skimmer and sticking on frequency  
through email to the reflectors, and via telnet spots.  But virtually  no 
one 
observed it and the rate was actually poor despite its  potential.

I think if more dxpeditions used RTTY skimmer and advertised  that fact it 
would end up making for much higher Q rates.  In  addition to the general 
need to have dxpediton ops who actually had some  serious RTTY experience 
but 
that's a different  subject.
