[Skimmertalk] 160 Meter Contest tonight

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

Look in the skimmer.ini file (skimsrv.ini for Skimmer.ini).  You'll find 
a line labeled CW segments.  Purpose of this line is to exclude RTTY 
segments in order to reduce the number of busted spots from Skimmer 
trying to decode RTTY.  You can just use Notepad to alter this line and 
put the altered file in your program directory.

Here's a blog article about it

Ignore the off-topic title - it's a blogspot bug of some sort.
