See below for a report that shows which skimmers are spotting the NCDXF
beacons. It summarizes the last 8 days of RBN raw data, counting NCDXF
beacon callsigns *only.*
As you can see, 3 of the 18 NCDXF beacons were not spotted by any skimmer
(probably because they are off the air). Others like JA2IGY are rarely
spotted due to equipment troubles.
I found 37 different skimmers spotting the NCDXF beacons, but some skimmers
do not seem to be optimized for beacon spotting.
Note that the Faros <http://dxatlas.com/faros> program by VE3NEA is far
more sensitive. It can spot very weak NCDXF beacons, based on very
accurate timing. If you install Faros, be sure to replace the Beacon.lst
file with the updated version, here:
