Until CW Skimmer came along...  Now I use Skimmer's "599" mode to identify
the last station worked, click that decoder dot to send my TX there without
needing to hear the pileup.  Last night there was a huge pileup for ST0R and
I worked him for #332 on Topband using this method.  I even turned off the
split RX audio so it didn't distract me from copying the weak signal.

Of course I can also copy with my ears but Skimmer makes it so easy I'm
beginning to use it exclusively for humongous pileups.

73,  Bill
