Re: [CQ-Contest] Voice RBN

[Joe <nss@mwt.net>]

As someone who has zero clue as to how the RBN system works.

I can surely tell when one grabs me, I see it in N1MM and then suddenly 
the freq, well I can say some times I'm happy it spotted me and others 
well you see the spot come through and know shortly the freq is gonna go 
to hell.
I wonder, if the RBN's could be made to work with a call list of who 
wants to be spotted,
This way the RBN has a list of clean calls to work with.  if it copies 
something on the list is tells everyone. if it does not have a match 
then it ignores it.
This cures the bad copy problem, AND for those that do NOT want to be 
spotted for the above mentioned reason, they can make sure their call is 
not on the official list so they won't get spotted.
Possible?

Thoughts?

etc...
