<p>The program rbn.pl is just a simple test program that does some
deduping and a certain amount of checking. There room for
improvement, most of which could be made easier by incorporating
it into the main DXSpider code. Work which I have started doing
but, owing to personal circumstances, has had to take a back seat
until (probably) beginning of July. I have started to put some
stubs in already, but there are a number of issues that I would
like to get some guidance on - here are my current views :</p>
<ul>
<li>RBN spots should always be local - meaning that they are not
distributed on the cluster - this implies that each node (that
wants to handle them) will need to make a connection to the RBN.
Note: any spots ending in -# will be dropped by existing
DXSpider nodes so, in fact, it would require a network wide
upgrade to distribute them anyway.</li>
<li>When the node has established a connection to the RBN, users
should have actively opt in and have a set of RBN specific
filter rules separate from the spot rules. <br>
</li>
<li>Having access to all this realtime signal strength info should
allow some enhanced propagation prediction. Is anyone interested
in this sort of thing and, if so (given that the prediction is
regarded as good) how is to be used by (or communicated to)
users?</li>
<li>Some time ago one of my sysops wrote a program to provide
himself with SMS notifications of spots or conditions that he
was interested in using the filtered output from a connection to
a node. Given that there other means, these days, of informing
users on mobile phones that might be cheaper - should be looking
this? Twitter, Signal or some other mechanism?<br>
</li>
<li>The mojo branch can be considered mature, if not "finished".
Any new features will appear on this branch which will appear,
somewhen, as DXSpider version 2. <br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Discuss. <br>
</p>
<p>Open to any reasonable suggestions.</p>
