OT: new concept/tool for cw DXing and contesting

internal CW decoder but found the time to question the functionality
of this software :)

Well, Björn, the K3 decodes one signal at a time and the Skimmer
decodes and analyzes (identifies the callsign of who "owns" the
frequency and not just everybody else answering the CQ in the case of
"running" for a contest) the entire band, thereby completely
eliminating the need to actually "tune the band."

A single signal decoder can be used to help train/learn CW.  This
software is for DXing and Contesting and little, if anything, to do
with learning cw.

So for me, there is big difference.
