[Dxspider-support] Number of spots in CQWW CW?

[Dirk Koopman]

This is not possible because RBN spots are not recorded.

This *could* change, but I would need a better reason than needing to do 
an occasional query to how many spots arrived in the last n days. I have 
the ability to grab RBN/other spot data out of the debug files for a 
limited time (they are aged out after 10 days by default).

Please bear in mind that, even though RBN spots are between an 8-10th of 
the incoming RBN feed (it's quite variable), that still amounts a huge 
amount of data that will need to be stored. So there were 564027 
DXSpider RBN CW spots and  61480 "normal" (not necessarily all contest 
related) spots during CQWW CW weekend. It might be an interesting 
exercise to find out why WA9PIE-2 has 852 spots fewer than you did :-)
