> As many of you are aware, the CW Skimmer and Skimmer Server software
> from VE3NEA, which is used by every node on the Reverse Beacon Network,
> relies on a "3-character pattern" file to decide how plausible a
> callsign that it copies is. This means that when a new callsign pattern
> begins to be issued (the new German contest calls are a good example),
> unless the pattern file is updated, stations signing a callsign like
> that will be spotted less.  Why?  Because if Skimmer/SkimServ can't find
> the pattern in the file, it demands more repetitions before accepting it
> as credible.  In a contest setting, that will mean fewer spots.

> I have just completed the updating of this file, based on all spots on
> the RBN from October 1 2013 to about September 15 2014, manually culled
> for busts.  I have been testing the file on my RBN node since earlier
> this month, and am satisfied that it is stable and comprehensive.  Now
> is the time to try to get it to as many RBN node operators as I can.

> The problem is that the list of nodes is dynamic and constantly
> changing.  To get it to as many node ops as I can, I need contesters'
> help. Please forward this message to as many node ops as you know,
> andparticularly in Europe and North America, where the population is
> rapidly changing.  Club reflectors would also be a good idea.

> The new file is downloadable at
> <www.reversebeacon.net/downloads/patt3ch/patt3ch.lst>, and needs to be
> placed in Appdata\Roaming\Afreet\products\SkimSrvor \CwSkimmer,
> replacing the one that is there.
