<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 :<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
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.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
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.
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
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?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
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?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
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.
<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p>Discuss. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Open to any reasonable suggestions.<o:p></o:p></p>
