By using the term "clever", it appears that Roger approves
of this technology, and might like to see it permitted in
Single-Operator (Classic).

I maintain the use of Skimmer is entirely inappropriate
in any class of CW contest - for the simple reason that,
being a CW decoder, its use reduces CW to the status of
"just another data mode" (K1TTT).

Sometimes, there's more than just "enjoyment, within
the rules" involved in contesting.  How can anyone who
professes to be a CW enthusiast promote the use of CW
decoders?  It's like turkeys voting for Christmas.
