<span style="background:white">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.</span><br>

<span style="background:white">The RBN website encourages users to connect to a cluster not the telnet feed directly. <i>"</i></span></span><i><span style="font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;background:#FFFEEF">Our intent is that "retail"
