I agree with all the comments in Art's previous post. I have CW Skimmer but
I rarely fire it up, not even in the case of the massive piles of 7O6T. In
this case Skimmer would probably be at its best, since the pileup doesn't
stop calling no matter what. The pan screen shows more or less the same
weed patch when the DX is transmitting, and when someone is working him, as
it does during the calling intervals. But even so, the pan picture plus
some guesswork can get you in the right place enough times to eventually
snag the guy, even with a peanut whistle in the RF-free zone. Without that
picture, it's pretty hard to guess where to go when the pile is 15 kc wide
with many hundreds of signals audible.
