[Skimmertalk] Skimmer availability for ARRL DX Test [correction]

Pete,

Just checked your skimmer (@0530Z) located at 24.126.40.25:7300.  It
provided spots on 80M and seemed to respond well to the couple of commands I
sent it.

BTW, I will also try to have my skimmers available via the
skimmer.dxwatch.com web site for the ARRL DX Test as well.  Unfortunately, I
have recently developed some sort of inteference between them and the main
station when running high power.  If my skimmers start producing garbage
spots due to this inteference, I will obviously have to pull them off-line.
I am going to be operating this contest from my home QTH along with KY4F.
We are still undecided as to whether or not to operate as multi-single or
multi-two.  If multi-single, I should be able to keep a rather close eye on
them, but if we go multi-two, it may be that I don't watch them as closely.
So, if my skimmers start producing garbage, I would appreciate any form of
heads-up that someone would care to provide...  :-)  Best of luck in the
ARRL DX!

73,

Rick
