Most Prolific RBN Contributors
Again, from data crunched by Bob, N6TV:
Can You Hear Me Now - SNRs of Skimmers During CQWW
Bob's been at it again. N6TV has calculated the average Signal-to-Noise ratio for each spot by each RBN Skimmer. My only contribution is to sort the data in callsign order, to make it easier to find your station.
As usual, geography has a lot to do with results. All the most prolific Skimmers are in Europe. A second table, in the next blog post, lists the data as Bob originally did, by total number of spots during the contest.
Here's the tabulation:

Most-spotted Single Ops
Again, from N6TV, here are the most spotted single-ops. He says:
I pulled spot counts for the Top-Ten SOHP stations, as reported so far to 3830 (plus CR3E who has not posted yet). Note that if you were spotted once a minute for 48 hours, that would add up to 2880 spots.
Tip (from N6TV): The best way to get spotted by a Skimmer is to send "CQ" or "TEST" and your callsign (twice), with everything sent at the same speed. Sending "TEST" faster than your callsign, or sending the exchange faster than everything else, will make CW Skimmer much less likely
to properly decode your call. CW Skimmer must detect your CW speed
before it can decode any letters successfully. Varying your CW speed
constantly will make it much harder for CW Skimmer to spot you.
N4ZR adds: Also, you *must* send TEST or CQ, or you will not be spotted. These are keywords that Skimmer uses to identify running stations. No keyword, no spot.
Of course, the numbers above reflect the geographic distribution of RBN Skimmers. It is surprising, though, that given the density of RBN contributors in Europe, only CR6K and 4O3A made the list. Perhaps there aren't very many competitive high-power single-ops in Europe, or maybe they were all off operating at the big multis.

The RBN's Most Spotted Stations in CQWWCW
Bob, N6TV has kindly permitted us to post his tabulation of the stations that the RBN spotted most often during the recent CQWW CW contest. Sorry about the funny shading, but I think it's readable enough. In each group, the underlined continent is where the spotters were located - for example, the numbers of spots under Africa reflect spots made by RBN volunteers in Africa. Herewith:
