[Skimmertalk] Anomalous skews on 10 meters

[K1TTT]

That would seem odd since I have been sending out spots continuously, some
of them must have matched up on at least one band.

Hi Dave.  "No data" means that there have been no recent opportunities to
compare your spots with those from one of our reference stations.  Right
now, the server says there are no recent comparisons.  I wouldn't worry
about it.  If you have been matched, the result should show on the
Connections tab (instead of "no data").  If your error exceeds +/- 0.2 KHz,
you should also get a message on the Status tab.

For spots, please go to your favorite 
ARC V6 or VE7CC DX cluster node.

Ok, what does this mean... my connections tab has a list of bands that all
say 'no data', the status tab says the rbn is not showing any offsets for
me, and the rbn page just has dashes on all bands for my offsets... but it
does have the list of bands I am sending and the spots are showing... does
that mean I am matching perfectly, or that something is wrong with offset
calculations?

We're seeing some very anomalous data on frequency calibration on 10 meters
- numerous stations which previously have been tightly calibrated are being
reported as having +0.8 skews.  While we try to figure out what is going on,
please don't waste time recalibrating, unless you have specific reason to
believe that your calibration has changed.
