OK, now I get it. FN21TANNER is not the callsign but a mis-decode. That makes 
sense. I misunderstood. Most beacons are decoded perfectly well by cw skimmer. 
You can check that on the RBN. No need for any special fine-tuning of beacon ID 
sequence.

  Not sure what is misleading about "·  ·  ·  ·  · DE K4MTP/B FN21 TANNERSVILLE 
PA K", but I doubt beacon ops are fine tuning their beacon text for perfect 
CWSkimmer decodes. :)

    Sure, but for all practical purposes the prefix is misleading. My skimmer 
has no problem decoding. Automatic beacon skimming 24/7 here.

      The beacon is identifying correctly, but CWSkimmer (which I assume is 
being used to decode in this case) is having issues with with spacing. Mike 
also QSLs readily:

        No worries. Good to know what beacon that is. I still don't like the 
callsign much :(

            Hi Dieter. The FN21TANNER decodes you guys are getting are K4MTP, 
Tannersville, PA.
