Hi Pete. I've discovered a difficulty as a little pistol using the RBN
spots via VE7CC's CC User. The problem is that many spots are for
stations I can't hear. I ran assisted with N1MM, and found that I
typically jumped to a spot (SS CW and CQ WW SSB) and then spun the dial
to the station to the side of the spot and to the station I could hear.
I'm guessing that a number of RBN sources are stations with great
locations and antennas. (I did limit sources to those near my QTH).
I'm thinking that I may have not really been "assisted". The value of
the spots to me was that if provided a convenient quick way to jump to
new S&P search location.
