Hi Pete,

Although I'm an active user of FT8 for weak signal work on 6M and 160M, occasionally on 80, and MSK144 on 6M, I see no need for RBN to include these spots, simply because the WSJT-X universe (and other software to run those modes) is quite well supported by PSKReporter and hamspots. The operating software defaults to feed PSKR, and JTAlert can feed hamspots.

The only benefit I see from inclusion in RBN are the statistical and comparative features for station performance.

73, Jim K9YC

I'm happy to announce that a beta of the RBN website with an open-sourced map is now available at <http://beta.reversebeacon.net/main.php>. This is preliminary, subject to lots of change, and may not always be available while we work on it.

Any input (criticisms, comments, etc) will be much appreciated. Please send to n4zr@comcast.net, NOT to this reflector
