Hi Brian - this is entirely up to each operator. For example, N1MM
Logger has a Packet Spot Timeout setting. For use with the RBN, we
usually recommend a setting of no more than 10-12 minutes, because if a
station continues CQing on a frequency CW Skimmer will re-spot it at
roughly that interval. That also helps busted spots to go away quickly,
of course.
Often, too, you will see both the busted spot and the real one on the
same frequency on your bandmap if more than one RBN Skimmer copied the
station.

ARC V6 or VE7CC DX cluster node.

I do wonder how long those spots are stored in
different places as around 30 minutes later I had a weak usa stn who
obviously wasn't hearing me too well ask me to confirm my call was C4G
which I presume was the bad spot.,
