[Skimmertalk] Mining RBN data, export to web site?

[Andrew O'Brien]

Thanks Torsten and Pete.  I do actually want to filter RBN spots for a
couple of CW clubs, one clubs uses my web site extensively for "skeds".
 Feeding CQ calls from their club members would be a good addition.  I
already run some MYSQL and PHP applications, so i would have to figure out
if what I have can coexist with new code scripts that are needed to mine
the RBN.  I would need to start with the basics though, though would appear
to be to locate the RBN telnet server of raw data and "grab" the spots for
re-posting on my site. Obviously after that, I would need to establish club
databases , compare and then filter RBN spots with the club database.
