Others agree with you that the best avenue for CW Skimmer is RTTY or PSK not CW contesting. The basis of the argument is much like other technological advancements in professional sports. The software might significantly tip competitive balance at least within Box scores.

But the genie is out of the bottle and one might deduce that Skimmer will be used during CQ WPX CW in May. Are log detection tools refined enough? Perhaps and only time will tell.

I, for one advocate Skimmer goes into the Single Operator All-Band (SOAB) assisted category in any contest. The essential element in SOAB is a set of human ears decoding then transcribing Morse code.

Thanks for leaving your comment.

Contest on.
