Jim, and anyone else -
when the new pattern file is ready, we will put it on the RBN
web site. The first time you start or restart Aggregator after
that, it will invite you to download the file. It takes just a
few seconds, and the Aggregator will then tell you that you're
current.

This contest always brings out the exotic prefixes, so if you're going to field a new one in WPX, let me know by the 20th (by direct e-mail) so it can be included. Why bother?? Prefixes not in the pattern file are not recognized as readily as ones that are - measured by the number of repetitions required before a station is spotted.? A callsign with a prefix not in the pattern file has to be repeated 4 times before it is recognized. -- 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the Reverse Beacon Network at <http://reversebeacon.net>, now spotting RTTY activity worldwide.
