Hi Oli,

thank you for the pull request? I'm sorry but I'm not sure how the skimmer support works. It seems you are sending back some QSL status. Could you explain how it works and why is that needed? Thanks!

Dear Petr,
sorry for not supplying all needed info's in the PR. I copied you some information from the CW Skimmer Manual below. Hope this helps to understand my implementation. If not please ask.

Interpreter for Click in CW Skimmer Bandmap

When the operator clicks on the callsign on the Band map, in the Callsign List dialog or in the Received Text panel, the server sends an announcement message to all connected clients:

To ALL de SKIMMER <2014Z> : Clicked on "TI8/DL4MO" at 14012.9

This announcement can be used by the logging software to poplate the callsign input box.

Returning Status to Skimmer

The client can tell CW Skimmer to highlight certain callsigns by sending the SKIMMER/STATUS command.

ZZ0ZZZ de SKIMMER 2008-03-21 16:41Z CwSkimmer >
SKIMMER/STATUS S51WO 14017.0 DUPE
ZZ0ZZZ de SKIMMER 2008-03-21 16:44Z CwSkimmer >

The following codes can be used in the Announce command:

There is no need to send SKIMMER/STATUS for all other calls, they are displayed in Black by default.

The meaning of the codes is only a guide. The software that sends the SKIMMER/STATUS commands to the Skimmer can use those codes to highlight any other classes of callsigns. For example, contesting software could use the NEWCTY code to highlight the multipliers, and the BNDCTY code to highlight the 5-point callsigns.

Thanks!
