No, they are not, but there's no reason I know of that would prevent RBN spots from being carried on any other network - they are distributed to the "wholesale market" (not end users please) on Telnet.

Hi Mike,

As far as I know the RBN receivers are not related at all to the websdr.com
receivers.

Hello Don es Roger,

Can I assume these RBN SDRs are also on websdr.com? If so, which ones?
That
is, what are they called, so we can listen to the right ones?

I no longer have any antennas.

I know 3 RBN reporting receivers  located in New Hampshire use very good
RX
antennas and they are as follows based on 2020 information I obtained
from
the owner of these receivers.

200m-long Beverage to EU
23' high active Hi-Z vertical

So yes, very good RX antennas on some of the East Coast RBN receivers.

Just FYI,

Fine about the RBN Receiving Sites further West . . . I wondered if
that
was
the case.

I guess the East Coast US RBN stations that give us Europeans really
good
reports - more than 30dB above the noise when the band is open - must
also
have good receiving antennas.
