[Skimmertalk] Spots without calling CQ

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

Well, if anyone can pinpoint which Skimmers do this,  I'll be all over 
them. There may be one or two SkimServs that are using minimal rather 
than normal validation or higher. That is the only possible source I can 
see.  That said, I was spotted a few times yesterday while S&P - maybe 4 
times in 1000 QSOs.
