[UK-CONTEST] Skimmer mis-reporting

[Stewart Rolfe]

The following is from my 3830 report of ARRL DX this weekend..

"Had quite a few repeat callers including from a couple of the big established
US stations. I was also called occasionally by EU contesters thinking I was
game; one mentioned me as NW6W so I decided to check the Reverse Beacon Network
later and found several skimmers reporting me as NW6W..! Only about 50 spots in
total but all from skimmers that didn't appear in the list for GW6W. If it was
a case of a missing leading 'dit' I would be looking at my amp timing/qsk etc
but dropping a dash is a little extreme and my call was always sent in 2s
anyway."

Has anyone else had this sort of thing happening? Incidentally I was using a K3 and Acom 1000 with QSK. Maybe next time I use GW6W I'll go assisted so I can keep an eye on the RBN..

(If anybody was recording the contest it would be interesting to see if I was being picked up and what my signal was like....)
