Useless trivia of the day.......

Just in case you wondered if the CW skimmers were working, or what the 
big deal is, some skimmer stats for the Bigg Gunz from ARRL DX CW......

Also, FWIW, I pulled stats for N4YDU for that contest.  Nate was low 
power from his home QTH for 40+ hours.

'YDU spots (From Europe only)....
CW skimmer spots : 1223
Real Peepul spots: 0009 (nine)

Seems like this skimmer stuff will make a much bigger difference in the 
contest experience for little pistols than for the super stations.  A 
super station's skimmer spot counts may be an order of magnitude larger, 
but they usually suck most of the available Q's up anyway, and are 
usually spotted by real peepul anyway.

The robots are less likely to vote only for their friends-n-favorites, 
and have the patience to work the weak ones.

So if you don't hook into the skimmers, you are very likely to hear from 
more of the folks that do.  And as more folks do.....  :)
