[UK-CONTEST] Re Skimmer - was QTC in WAEDC RTTY

[Roger G3SXW]

Danny - this was predicted in CQ Magazine about 20 years ago, in an April 
Fool's article! It's been slow in coming, possibly because some folks with 
the ability to develop such a beast realised that it could destroy the skill 
of contesting operating. Then, of course, eventually along came someone who 
realised that they might be able to make money out of it!
73 de Roger/G3SXW.
