The automated posts from several stations, such as W3LPL, are using their Skimmer setups to automatically post spots to the RBN and the Cluster based on CQ calls received.
I believe the software in use is designed to pick up the call, but not neccesarily other information.
Which proves that the astute amateur will LISTEN first BEFORE transmitting REGARDLESS of what a cluster or RBN spot says.
Some of our less experienced brethern haven't figured that out yet. And some of them never will.

Hi Jim.....best explanation so far. I wondered why the split info
wasn't posted but I guess it is skimmer????? Don't know much about it.
