Re: RBN as a propagation check
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýIf you¡¯re connected to a node that sends spots from Skimmers: ? Send TEST WS1L WS1L TEST on CW.? When you see a spot for your call in SpotCollector, right click on it and select Display spots of WS1L near (freq) in CW. ? A window will open listing spots for you from all the CW skimmers that have received you with your signal strength. ? I have a CW memory to send that message to check propagation, especially when I don¡¯t hear much activity on a band. ? Just now, with 100W and my antenna pointed east: ? ? Jim N7US ?

Hello to all, here¡¯s hoping all are well during this time of real biological virii, as well as the false positives of the computing variety. ? I will often look at the RBN webpage to see were my CQ's are landing on a band that may or may not be open.? ? I know there is an RBN source feeding Spot Collector, and I brought up it¡¯s window and tried to feed a few CC Cluster commands to it to show my recent spots but the RBN window just kept pumping spots at me like a firehose.? ? Ideally I¡¯d like to be able to have the RBN show me where my signal is reaching, as a means of checking for an open band.? I know it¡¯s not strictly DX related but it¡¯s at least DX-adjacent.? Is there a way to filter RBN spots like this?? I did try filtering Spot Collector by my Call but no results there either.? ? ? ? ? 73 de Chuck, WS1L _._,_._,_ |
