<br></div><div style>If you use +++/---, WEIGHT 3.5, or any non-standard spacing, I believe that CW Skimmer will take much longer to decode your callsign, which means you will not be spotted nearly as often by the RBN. If you use standard spacing, you will be spotted much more often.</div>

Then CQ once or with standard spacing, and watch the results. Then QSY and do another CQ with non-standard spacing and you should see that it will take much longer for you to be spotted.</div>
