[Skimmertalk] Please update Watch.lst to spot new NCDXF beacon KH6RS, replacing KH6WO

[David Robbins]

Hmmm, running skimmer server here, added that list to watch.lst, but not
seeing any beacon spots from my skimmer.  What other settings could stop
them from being spotted??

The operators of the NCDXF Beacon Network
<http://www.ncdxf.org/pages/beacons.html> could use our help to generate
automatic spots for the new beacon station, KH6RS, which replaces KH6WO.

To help CW Skimmer and Skimmer server spot this new beacon, please update
(or create) a text file named:

%appdata%\Afreet\UserData\Watch.lst


with one line per call:

4U1UN
VE8AT
W6WX
KH6RS
ZL6B
VK6RBP
JA2IGY
RR9O
VR2B
4S7B
ZS6DN
5Z4B
4X6TU
OH2B
CS3B
LU4AA
OA4B
YV5B


Note: %appdata% is a Windows standard environment variable that
automatically expands to C:\Users\*UserName*\AppData\Roaming.  You can use
"%appdata%" in any Windows dialog or on the Windows command line.

If necessary, adjust the CWSegments in your SkimSrv.ini file to include the
beacon frequencies (14.100, 18.110, 21.150, 24.930, and 28.200).

Details are outlined in two RBN blog posts by N4ZR, here:

http://reversebeacon.blogspot.com/search?q=ncdxf

Look for the .ini files here:

%appdata%\Afreet\Products\SkimSrv\SkimSrv.ini
%appdata%\Afreet\Products\CwSkimmer\CwSkimmer.ini


The NCDXF relies on the Reverse Beacon Network on a daily basis to
automatically check beacon status and look for problems, so our Skimmer
spots are very much used and appreciated.

Bob, N6TV
