[Skimmertalk] bad frecuencies spot

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

I think what Jorge was seeing is an artifact of the software problem 
that has been fixed in the latest release.

During the 160m contest I would be running a frequency for a long time. 
I would see a needed station pop onto my bandmap. I would click it to 
work him. Almost immediately my call sign would appear on his frequency 
after I called him. I would then resume my run frequency a kHz or more 
up the band. It would take "a while" for my call sign to reappear on my 
run frequency.

So there would be a period of time where my call sign was displayed on a 
frequency but I had "long gone" from that frequency. This happened a 
handful of times during the contest. I was going to write it up, but 
when I came to the reflector I saw the problem had already been 
identified and was being fixed.

If this was happening to me, there were probably instances where Jorge 
got caught in this "station disappearing act" during the contest.
