realize that the RBN is now way near a humane operator.  Let alone a good
operator.

 

I noticed bad spot of PA33A and I just checked RBN stats.  Last 100 correct
spots are all around 14015 kHz within one hour.  Even your best friends
wouldn't achieve better promotion of your unique callsign.

 

I spent 36 hours on RBN carefully watching for errors after long debate with
ex-VR2BG.  Wrong spots were just derivates of proper callsigns and I was
mentioned once as S56AE.  I was bit upset only once toward the end of
contest when ours S50ARX spoted weak F5KEQ on 20 m with N5 preffix required
for mults J

 

Thanks to RBN I easily worked YJ0PO on 3 bands, P29NO and a lot of juicy SA
mults.  No KL7 and KH6 from USA spots.  Only ordinary EU come back to my low
power CQ in poor condx.  There seemed to be something wrong with RBN on
Sunday evening.  Overload?
