[Dxspider-support] The RBN interface is here...

[Dirk Koopman]

Within some pretty tight limits, yes. But you should be careful a) what you wish for because b) when I last looked I was receiving ~150,000 spots / hour, of which I was getting ~5500 useful spots (~3%). I will put it on the list. If the rate of bustedness is generally as bad as Lee suggests then we will chop that number of useful spots down even more.

But I have observed that the compression rate (if that is a reasonable way of describing it) decreases from about 10% when spot rate is in the 5000/hour area yielding around 500 deliverables, 50000 yields 3500, 100000 yields about 5000.

I do wonder whether all this extra "diversity" is really the most efficient way of going about things. The returns diminish really quite quickly. There are a finite number of people contesting and one really doesn't need to send more rbn spots than is necessary to qualify any particular station.

It will interesting to see the hourly stats after contest finishes.

You will be able to read both documents in either branch. You should stop the node before doing the 'git pull --all; git checkout --track mojo origin/mojo'.
