[CQ-Contest] Reverse Beacon Network News

[Pete Smith]

Felipe, PY1NB has implemented a new and useful capability on 
http://skimmer.dxwatch.com .  If you want to know which reverse beacon 
heard you, when, and on what frequency, you can go to DX Spots in the top 
menu, select Spot Search, put your call in, and the site will search its 
database and both map and list your last 50 spots.  It goes all the way 
back to the beginning of the network in March.

You can also construct filters for spots by band, country, zone and 
continent.  Look under DX Spots and select Spot Search.  Want to see what 
Europeans have been spotted by North American reverse beacons on 15 or 10, 
and when you missed the opening?  Select your options, and voila!

We have reverse beacons now in North and South America and Europe - we 
could still use more on the US west coast, in Canada, and in AS, OC and 
AF.  Not all are on all the time, so be sure to check back from time to time.

If you'd like to join us, contact me for more info, or check out the imnfo 
on the web site.
