The issue at hand is technical, not political and any effort to turn it into a
political debate is misdirected and counterproductive.
The #1 complaint about RBN is busted calls. In order for CW/RTTY Skimmer and
RBN to improve the accuracy of decoded callsigns, the software uses a
"language" that describes the patter of valid callssigns. Obviously the source
of such patterns comes from IARU which in turn does not recognize D1. Chances
are N1MM and other ham software that looks for valid callsign patterns will
label D1 as invalid as well unless someone has already corrected it or the
callsign is in the check partial database.

My comment “Let him play” is not in jest.
Each of us, individually, is responsible to our licensing authority for proper
and legal operation of our radio station. (including D1WW)
No ham (nor their software) is responsible to adjudicate the proper and legal
operation of any other stations. We have no diplomatic standing. (including
K0HB or RBN)
The RBN has no regulatory standing as an “authority”. It is simply a slick
tool to alert us to stations heard. I believe that it should simply “report
what was sent”, and let the users as individuals independently act on that
information. See 1) and 2).
