[Skimmertalk] [RBN-OPS] false 6 meter spots

[Ulrich Leicht]

Hi all,
would it be possible to switch in a check for bad-calls also at RBN like it is in the aggregator?
Sadly some of the ops do not look at this possibility in aggregator. Maybe they did once, but this list has to be updated regulary, depending on the noise and ghost signals you have at your qth.

So I mean if at least the 6m spots could go through such a filter at rbn before going out into the internet, there would be a chance to filter out at least the well knows aa1ee and ee1ee´s and so on.
I have abt 200 calls in this list atm, updating it over the last 7 years. Included my loved "V8VDE" I posted some weeks ago.

I can provide my list to the group if liked or put it on my qrz.com (I will do this anyway now).

Btw, I fully agree with Paul not to switch on "cq-online" for 6m also. I also recommend to use validation aggressiv and the bad-call list, as well as the notch list of course. This is enough for sure.

How about my idea?

Hi Pete, et.al.
I would highly discourage RBN doing away with non-CQ spots on 6 meters.  Doing so would eliminate all beacon spots on the band.  And beacon spots are essential to early detection of sporadic-E openings.

As has been mentioned, the culprit in most of these false-spot situations is more often than not running normal mode vs. aggressive callsign validation with non-CQ calls passed.  And this almost always happens with an RBN node trying to run both HF bands and 6 Meters at the same time.   Unfortunately, the two (HF / VHF) have competing requirements.  HF needs normal validation with CQ only spots.  6 Meters needs aggressive validation with non-CQ spots passed.   I wish there was a way for the skimmer software to apply these attributes selectively based on HF vs 6 meters in these multi-band setups.   Until that capability appears, I would suggest such setups that continue to run multi-band with 6 meters run with normal callsign validation and CQ Only selected.  As stated above, unfortunately this would eliminate beacon spots, but their quality of spots on 6 would improve (i.e. false spots reduced).

I also run a single band 6 meter Softrock Enemble RX SDR.  So I'm not directly familiar with these multi-band setups.  Realizing that, is there a way to run multiple instances of Skimmer/Server and Aggregator on a single SDR, splitting HF and 6 meters between the software?  That would allow applying the attributes above appropriately per band.

Should we be re-thinking allowing non-CQ 6-meter spots to be posted to the RBN?  What are the pros and cons?
