Another unfair comparison - there are LOTS more PSKreporter monitors
than RBN monitors (an order of magnitude difference, more on 6 meters!)
plus the RBN spots from each monitor are at best once per 10 minutes
while PSK reporter gets near continuous updates.

And as I pointed out, ClubLog is not the only source of data.
RBN tested this. FT8 to CW was roughly 85% to 15%. If phone is another 15
to 20%, that still puts FT8 way, way ahead.
The point is that the user base is too large to ignore.
