[Skimmertalk] Help--What's Going On?

[David Robbins]

well, that may be part of it, but not all since my skimmer doesn't use the supercheck file.  maybe there is something in the call validation logic that is more sensitive to the 2x2 call?  or some kind of sending quirk that the skimmer can't figure out??   maybe try some variations with extra half spaces in the ws7sx call to break it up differently.

let me guess, you see more spots with one call than the other??? most likely skimmers that are using the supercheck database are finding one call in the database but not the other one so it doesn't get spotted.

Good Morning All,

I have a club call which I sometimes use to tweak RBN for propagation
checking. But I am often surprised by the lack of hits.

Last night I ran tests with both W6SX and WS7SX. I alternated TEST TEST
TEST W6SX W6SX W6SX TEST and TEST TEST TEST WS7SX WS7SX WS7SX TEST numerous
times on various bands. Everything was the same: power, speed, memory keyer
with auto character space. To see results, use Search Spots by Callsign.

What's going on?
