Hi Dirk

I tried set/width 120 but the spots are still displaying RTT not RTTY. N1MM Contest logger is looking for RTTY

We want to have as much information as possible in our window, but our window has a standard size of 80 columns for all the fields we want to see simultaneously.
Difficult solution to be able to please everyone without modifying or losing something.

We are not very flexible and our input is the default complaint.

It is at least surprising that the N1MM developers do not keep track of the main sources of spots, and in particular of the most used software on the Net.

Hi John,

Yes the raw feed from the RTTY Skimmer includes RTTY in the comment field however DXSpider (the most popular cluster software) takes the RBN feed and reformats the spots to include better information in the comments field...... but the mode is written as RTT not RTTY. It would be helpful if N1MM  was to recognise the comment RTT as RTTY. Typical output from the DXspider cluster RBN version is as below.

The RBN website encourages users to connect to a cluster not the telnet feed directly. "Our intent is that "retail" DX clusters should connect via telnet to one these nodes, and that end-users should connect to the "retail" nodes."

Hi All

See below, I reported to the N1M development team that Spider RBN RTTY spots are not recognised.. as RTTY due to RTT not RTTY in the comments... I have responded to K3CT with more detail regarding the reformatting of spots but we will see. One smart individual said to my post:

"Looks to me as either a bug or faulty design RTTY has been called RTTY for over 60 years...

However simple enough, set cluster to reject all spot comments except for RTT and then set N1MM to accept everything it receives.

Alternative use a DX cluster that does not change RTTY to RTT."

Not really useful..... Dirk it maybe useful if you emailed N1MM

We have a note in the source code that the rtty skimmer includes "RTTY" in the comment field.

Could be a bug in the cluster software?

Additional information. DXSpider reformats RBN spots, this is what the output looks like.

RTTY RBN spots from DXSpider are identified by RTT as the first 3 characters of the comments field.

N1MM doesn't seem to identify these RTTY spots as RTTY spots!!

Can this be adjusted please?
