People interested in analyzing activity should know that the RBN now
makes raw data available in one-day chunks at
http://reversebeacon.net/raw_data/ . Data are contained in zipped .csv
files, and the unzipped .csv files can be pretty big - for example, the
first day of WAE had 177,000 spots. With upwards of 30 Reverse Beacons
available, if a station was CQing on a band, you'll find it there.
And of course, the graphical Spot Analysis Tool is available as always
at http://reversebeacon.net/analysis . Choose a Reverse Beacon in your
target area and you can compare signals from up to 10 stations over an
entire day.
