[Skimmertalk] Spots without calling CQ

[David Robbins]

if the skimmer hears a 'cq' followed by a callsign 2 or 3 times on the same frequency within some short time period it may not be able to distinguish between which station sent the cq and the callsign that it heard, even if that station was calling the station that sent the cq... this is 'relatively' rare when you consider the number of stations  that may be answering a 
single cq, there are various filters built into the skimmer software but they can still be confused.  if you see it regularly from a particular skimmer you might want to contact the operator and make sure their software is up to date... i think the latest updates resolved many of those problems.

Actually, this happens to me often and I know when I call CQ or not. There seem to be a few skimmers out there that spot you if you are just in a QSO and having a normal exchange with "his de yourcall". I am not sure why that is, but it is happening in some cases.

I was spotted a few times last weekend but I am pretty sure I never called CQ. I may have pressed the "CQ" button once by mistake.
Can anybody tell me how this can happen?

Thanks
