[Skimmertalk] Antennas for multi-band Skimmer installations

[Pete Smith]

The QS1R is the only relatively affordable receiver that has this 
capability, and since it is also open source, Alex chose to use it as 
the platform for Skimmer Server.  This program now comes standard with 
the CW Skimmer package, and Alex says it should work pretty well right 
out of the box.
