[Elecraft] OT: CW Skimmer

Well, yes but the P3 can also be considered a crutch too.  It all depends on 
where the crutch/aid line is placed.

1st split capable RX-TX was Heath SB300-SB400 pair.

Confession time...   Have but after initial fascination with it do not use CW 
Skimmer but rely a lot on the P3.  Is having the K3 sub receiver and listening 
on the DX's frequency and hunting for his reply frequencies on the sub  a crutch 
too? Sure is not the old timers way.
