For those of you who want to know more about the Reverse Beacon Network,
Felipe, PY1NB has just published a detailed list of Skimmers
contributing spots to the RBN, at
<http://www.reversebeacon.net/skimmers/detail.php>. The new dynamic
list builds on, and does not replace, the original list of Skimmers, but
it provides a lot more information. Most of this will mainly be useful
to RBN participants - for example, there is a dynamic display of
frequency accuracy by band, so people can check their Skimmer's
calibration in real time. But if you want to know why a given Skimmer
is not hearing you, for example, you can check the frequency ranges it
is currently covering.
There is a new post explaining the features of the new list, on the
Reverse Beacon Network blog at <http://reversebeacon.blogspot.com/>.
