Willem, while CW Skimmer will work with the narrow bandwidth of a typical transceiver, it is really intended to work with the wide bandwidth of an SDR, feeding the callsigns to your logging program as “DX Cluster” spots.

“Out of the box”, CW Skimmer will work with older SDR receivers, such as the Microtelecom Perseus and Skimmer Server will work across 7 bands simultaneously with a QS1R. You can typically pick up the spots across the whole CW segment of a band (or bands with a QS1R).

The situation becomes slightly more complicated with more modern SDR receivers, Bob will talk you through the options.

Many of us feed spots to the Reverse Beacon Network. I also combine my own spots with those from the DX Cluster network, feeding the combined spots to my logging program. The software to combine them is Wintelnetx.

I hope that has given you a few ideas.
