It's the ham radio equivalent of "Wack-a-Mole" Jim!

A guy in our club started contesting with the skimmer this year.  He said
it's like a video game.  He selects the desired station indicated by the
skimmer and the computer sends the radio to the appropriate band/frequency
and calls the station.  After typing in the received info he then hits the
"599"  button and the computer sends his info.  Repeat ad naseum.  I just
can't see the appeal
