I agree  with you Tom, I should have written: "I would have enjoyed to hear
my own signal over Skype BUT with all the  potential problems mentioned,will
refrain from doing so."

It was the same when  I started on 160m  and used dx summit to see who can
hear me till I discovered that some users abuse the system,so I stopped
using that as well.

I dont have Skype and if I do get it, it will be used for its original
purpose.
