Just wondered if anyone have an idea why the number of spots this past weekend was as <br>
"low" as it was. It was almost half of what it was in the SSB part.<br>
<br>
Was conditions just worse, or is there some other reason for this?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>If you mean non-RBN (reverse beacon network) spots, then yes, I would expect this. The RBN spots CW stations all weekend (ask VE7CC how many RBN spots he sent out over the weekend). If a DX station is in my bandmap, meaning it was spotted in last 15 minutes, then I won't bother to put out a non-RBN spot.</div><div><br></div><div>The RBN can't decode human speech (at least not yet). So all DX spots must be made by hand.<br clear="all"></div></div><br>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Jim Reisert AD1C, <<a href="mailto:jjreisert@alum.mit.edu" target="_blank">jjreisert@alum.mit.edu</a>>, <a href="https://ad1c.us" target="_blank">https://ad1c.us</a></div></div></div>
