Indeed. Let's make sure everyone in the pile-ups are calling on exactly the SAME FREQUENCY !! That will undoubtedly help our rates, and the number that ultimately make it into the log. Packet was bad
Like any technological tool, the Reverse Beacon Network must be used properly to be effective. Proper use requires the techniques as traditional packet, which is subject to exactly the same clumping
There is that little thing called XIT. And there is that other thing called listening. And there is that other little thing that if 99 stations are calling at exactly 14.045.600 and I have my XIT at
Everyone has different operating preferences and preferences on whether or not they should be spotted. If anyone doesn't want my skimmer to spot them then a simple email to me with your call sign to
The great thing about the RBN is that it brings democracy to internet spotting in amateur radio contests :-) 73, Paul EI5DI _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-
Good point, Tim. In fact, there's another easy way. If you don't want to be spotted by Skimmers, don't send CQ or TEST or "UP x", because these are three triggers that will tell Skimmer that you're r
Hi guys. I had to contact a RBN server owner while ago, because LU stations seemed not to be spotted by his machine on any band. He told me that he had set up a filter for that purpose since there we
Is that intended to imply that all new technology is inherently good and appropriate? If so, it's way off the mark. Logging software is just another tool, or accessory, to improve operator efficiency
Hi Paul. Thank you for taking the time to reply. I've been operating in SOAB Assisted for the past five years, always SO2R from LP1H and I must agree with you, the sense of accomplishment when you fi
Really? I'm not a BIG contester, But have been contesting since 1975, LONG before any of this existed. And as soon as I heard a pileup made by a RBN spot I did notice how everyone was "Spot On" (pun
Perhaps the best way to handle this problem would be to have contest logging software generate a small random offset to the spotted frequency when switching the user's transmitter to a spotted QRG. 7
I believe that Win-Test already has this option, but I wonder why it is necessary. I have gotten very used to the sequence of Click/listen/tweak/call. The tweak is almost often ~200 Hz. The time lost
Pete, no doubt it's easy enough for the calling operator to implement the tweak on the fly. But, the benefit for having it occur automatically would be to the CQing station who would be less likely t
