I am a bit concerned that the stepped up validation causes such a large drop in the raw number of spots, but Wes knows what he is talking about. Alex had told me to expect about the same number of spots, just delayed.<br /><br />I have just switched back to Normal until the weekend, and I have already noticed a big increase in the number of spots.

CW Skimmer needs another validation level (contest mode?) between aggressive and paranoid that would require the callsign to be heard 4 times if in the master list, and 5 times if not in the list.<br /><br />One other improvement needed in CW Skimmer is the ability to copy varying speeds during a CQ. One station during CQWW, G1A, was calling CQ by sending 'G1A G1A TEST'. G1A was sent at about 20 WPM, but the word TEST was maybe 35 WPM. Skimmer could not copy the word TEST correctly and always mangled 'TEST' with the last G1A to get something like G1AEET. G1A was spotted 18 times on Dx Summit, but was only copied by 3 skimmers, K3LR, K8ND, & PA5KT.<br /><br />Mark, KB9AMGMark - KB9AMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02387060720721663726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8554856838676547482.post-49387335082572188922011-12-06T09:45:19.758-08:002011-12-06T09:45:19.758-08:00When I go to Aggressive during the week when most ...When I go to Aggressive during the week when most of the operating is casual, I get about 1/3 of the spots that I get on Normal. Consequently, I run Normal during the week and then switch to Aggressive during contest weekends. During contesting I think most stations call enough that the loss is modest and I don't want my call associated with a lot of errors.<br /><br />I use an Auto Hotkey script to switch.<br /><br />Wes, WZ7IWeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11912070502861111350noreply@blogger.com
