Ah, interesting Bjorn. For contesters, that's huge. The RBN's batching
of spots from each Skimmer typically imposes a delay of only 30 seconds
or so.

Check out the Reverse Beacon Network
at <http://reversebeacon.net>, now
spotting RTTY activity worldwide.
For spots, please use your favorite
"retail" DX cluster.

There is one HUGE benefit with RBN above PSKreporter and that is latency.
PSKreporter enforces an upload policy on all clients making the average
spot 6 minutes old when it shows up on the web site.

One advantage for including the FT/JT modes in RBN: I can monitor the RBN
for "needed" band-entities with a single spotting program/utility, rather
than requiring multiple tools.

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
