[Skimmertalk] Z60A not being copied by CT1BOH-#

[dd5xx at web.de]

Hello José,

I am not sure what exactly happens but I also experienced following phenomenon ==> callsigns containing a zero 0 are not recognized as well. We did excessive tests over months, various time periods, various stations, various power levels and all kind of sort you can imagine of. The results showed very clear that our club station callsign XX0X is not recognized as good as when I send another callsign in CW. That happens to "CQ CQ CQ de XX0X XX0X XX0X" but also to "TEST TEST TEST DE XX0X XX0X XX0X" calls. This issue still exists and I can reproduce it.

I have no clue it is just the "zero" causing the problem or a certain combination with it. In our case, our callsign has the character "A" after the zero, so it ends in 0A. Maybe others can provide more information if this is a known issue.

I have a skimmer going at my QTH
http://www.reversebeacon.net/dxsd1/dxsd1.php?f=0&t=de&c=CT1BOH

I have + Z6#@ in pattern file in aggregator.
Z60A is loud and clear, but my skimmer never "skims" Z60A

It seems this is not only my problem. Skimmer spots for Z60A are very few.

First it seemed that only skimmer stations copy Z60A and the problem is
with skimmer-server stations, but no sure about that.

Any hint about what problem may be?
