[Skimmertalk] How did your Skimmer Server computer do in CQWW

[Pete Smith]

The reason for the RBN's transmission of duplicate spots is simply to 
permit users to make their own decisions about which spots to use.  Both 
of the RBN Telnet servers provide filtering by spotter location, and the 
ARC server employs a "Unique>2" filter that does not forward a spot 
unless at least 3 Skimmers have heard it; taken together with spotter 
location, this seems to work well to keep the volume actually arriving 
at the user's computer to a manageable level.

This is the most common type of duplicate the RBN sends out.  VE7CC's Skimmer spots are intended to provide complete coverage without requiring user's computers to do all the duplicate filtering.
