Topband: Reverse Beacon Network

out that I am indeed getting out and the band is open..."

If PSKReporter is to believed, total global CW activity across bands is now
less than 1% of FT8.  For example, look at the report for the last 12 hours
(0.4%).  This trend began rising dramatically during November, 2018.  

We can all pretend it's "band conditions" driving these statistics, but I
think it's much more than that.  The numbers show that FT8 has become an
insatiable HF video game.

I have no idea as to the accuracy of input drivers that make the reported
statistics, nor how it's all compiled.  Anyone?
