You can download the RBN raw data from:
http://www.reversebeacon.net/raw_data/
After uncompressing the CSV files, you can use a the "find" command at a DOS
prompt to collect your spots:
find "WA3MEJ" *.csv > wa3mej.csv
After that, it's straightforward to import into Excel and analyze from there.

Subject: Topband: REVERSE BEACON
I am planning a new 160m transmit antenna to be erected in the next few weeks.
Before I install it however I want to get a good history (over a few weeks) of
spots from the reverse beacon network. My problem is that instead of going to
WWW.DXMAPS.COM I would like to get the spots from the source. Is this
possible? Is there a utility/program out there that will allow me to plug my
call into it and collect all of my spots for me... displaying them on my
computer ready to be archived/plotted.. whatever?
My new antenna will be a 75 ft Vertical elevated about 8 ft above the ground to
include 20 1/4 wave radials. This should be superior to my current Inverted L
with 4 radials 6 ft above the ground that the deer keep getting into.
