Ken,
I hear that some wise guys are sending the calls of DX stations, "CQ
callsign" or "de callsign", on oddball frequencies so they will show up as
skimmer spots. That might explain some of the bogus spots being posted on the DX
cluster network. I have seen quite a few low band spots for Asian

The K3 can handle any mic or boommic. What you are gonna use is a choice
you'll have to make by yourself. The K3 will work fine with high-end
headsets AND with cheap computer headsets. It's more or less a matter of
taste.

Perhaps coincidentally, yesterday my P3 was also off by 30 Hz based on the
carrier frequency of BCB stations. It had been dead-on since I calibrated it
over a year ago. Haven't had time to explore further, but will recalibrate if
this persists.

Hi John,
I had this happen to me a few days ago where I was calling CQ on 7.015 and
was spotted on 14.0614 by Tim KQ8M's skimmer. I emailed KQ8M to ask him if
there was a problem with his skimmer. He replied that he wouldn't rule out
that the problem was in his Rx setup, but it was tuned to 20m.
I have not been monitoring this mail list much recently so I apologize if this
subject has been discussed previously.

when the tuner starts tuning. I modified my MFJ-998 so that it disables
