[Skimmertalk] Drinking from a fire hose

Running the QS1R during the CQ CW contest was interesting.  Despite some
problems the first evening, it looks like Skimmer Server logged more than
187K spots or more than 1 each second.

The telnet tool for reversebeacon.net lasted about two minutes into the
contest.  It seemed to bring my telnet server to a stop.  Maybe I didn't
have something set up correctly.  Perhaps the site needs some way to
indicate that a Skimmer receiving station is available for telnet access
without pumping these huge number of spots through its database.
