[Dx4win] Q: How to put Skimmer AND (telnet) packet spots in the spots window?

[Lou Dietrich]

Eric,

Are you talking about Skimmer spots generated by your Skimmer...or those
from the clusters?

One easy way is to log onto a Telnet cluster that has the Skimmer spots in
it's output by default.  N7AZ.net does this.

One problem I have with this scenario:

I use the packet filtering in DX4Win so that only spots from zones 3 and 4
are checked against the log.  I assumed that 80% of the time, I won't be
able to hear the same guys as you East Coasters.  Since DX4Win deletes
earlier spots for the same call, when T6AA is spotted by a west coast
station and then immediately spotted again by an east coast Skimmer, the
spot is grayed out and the alarm doesn't go off.  So I miss it - this
happens a lot!  My final solution is that when I am in the shack but not
tuning, I use a cluster without Skimmer spots.  When I am at the radio and
tuning, I use a cluster with the Skimmer turned on.

73, Bud  N7CW
