yes, that is frequently the case. this kind of diminishes the effectiveness of cheerleading since many cluster users filter the spots so they only see ones originating near them... so many stateside
Hi David, For some reason, LZ2NP knows himself only, he was spotting LZ9W on one and the same frequency each two minutes sending 6 - 7 spots at once. We waited for a while ,if he would stop this by h
Well I asked this same question (without the RBN component) last year and it pretty much fell on deaf ears. As you know, the "No self spotting" is written into the rules, so that's how it's gonna be.
I am new to all this spotting stuff. But when someone is running a freq, say as the below example, LZ9W. and someone K9XYZ comes and works him, and his program is set to spot all S&P contacts, doesn'

Unfortunately for me I live on the other side of the pond and do have to live with this cr@p... I haven't given it much thought but now that the CQ WW committee is becoming more and more aggressive t
I was referring to the RBN, not Skimmer. Anyone who calls CQ on-air is self-spotting on the RBN - that's partly my point. It's generally considered OK to call CQ on-air, especially in contests. Howev
David, Do you really think we were foolish enough to ask for some cheerleading spotting on DX Summit, when we've been spotted by Skimmers of RBN may be few thousand times on all bands ? Total of 67 s
The skimmer servers by default will not spot the owner's callsign. That is why you will see my skimmer missing during some contests, i have changed the callsign to the operator's call for that weeken

David, You are now making unacceptable accusations on public list which you definetly CAN NOT prove ! Why should we ask someone to spot us on DX Summit just 67 times, when for 48 hours our callsign w
N1mm has logic that prevents automatic spotting when the call is already in the bandmap. Many cluster nodes also have filters that remove dupes within some time period, typically 10-15 minutes, and s
and that is all you have to do to get spotted on the regular cluster network also... so what is the difference? David Robbins K1TTT e-mail: mailto:k1ttt@arrl.net web: http://www.k1ttt.net AR-Cluster

No sign here that RBN or skimmers, etc. are diminishing bad spots. Out of 1450 contacts on 40 SB, I logged 66 dupes (4.6%) but would have had many more had I not decided about 3/4 of the way through
I do not understand this posture. Of course, we should CQ on the air. If that results in one's being spotted every 10-15 minutes, well... Nobody makes anyone use packet, or the RBN, or any combinatio
The difference is simple! You call CQ on-air and you get spotted by the RBN - no exceptions (assuming you are heard by at least one RBN receiver). In this context, calling CQ and self-spotting are on
Hi Joe You can set N1MM to never spot any stations automatically. You can still spot individual stations if you want to. (The <Spot It> button in the entry window or, I think, CTRL-P) 73, Jim Smith V
Thanks Jim, The main reason i was asking this is most contests lately i'm just in there to give away points and or look for new states, countries, etc. Which would be no problem except I'm running an
