Pete - I believe, until recently, they were from around the world, as
the band and times made no sense for US stations - even for LPL antennas.
Kurt - You are missing something. Many of us keep DX4Win on in the
background with an audio alert set for new band-countries. It's very
annoying when these spots alert us to something that doesn't exist in
our part of the world.

What is a skimmer? I've seen W3LPL spots and if I'm on the band and hear the DX
station I work him.
Am I missing something?

Not quite right, Jim - they are from NA Skimmers only, and for several months
now, the location where the station was heard has been appearing in the Comment
field

For spots, please go to your favorite
ARC V6 or VE7CC DX cluster node.

Use the VE7CC “CC user” cluster filtering tool. There is a switch to turn
on/off Skimmer spots.
Actually, they do not come in as skimmer spots. CW Skimmer spots are
identified by -# at the end of the spotter callsign. I have CW
Skimmer disabled, but still get the W3LPL spots.
W3LPL has such a great antenna farm, I can't hear his spots even when they
are from MD.
Spots arriving from W3LPL originate from CW skimmers all over the
world, not just in MD.
