------------------
As many have posted here,  it's not hard to do. But even though it's easy
enough to set up and use, I didn't find it to be an enhancement to my
normal operation.

It's true that some find Skimmer advantageous. Bill, W4ZV is a super-op who
has posted some favorable commentary about the use of Skimmer, and some
clever ideas about how to get the most out of it. But to tell the truth,
after I set it up and used it for a while, I scratched it. It might be
useful in a contest but it was of no value in a pileup. If you have a
two-receiver radio and a panadaptor, you can succeed in any pileup.
