The table on the bandmap page shows recent RBN spots of CW club members in a dynamically updated bandmap (30 seconds update interval).
In the upper part of the page, you can specify the filter options you wish to apply. The lower part of the page shows the bandmap with the matching spots.
Some details:
Do spots of your station not appear in this RBN application?
Don't you see any spots at all?
DJ5CW(3500-10150)
- will only raise an alert for DJ5CW on 80m through 30mSO5CW(1810-1840,7000-7040,18068-18168)
- will only raise an alert for SO5CW on 160m, 40m and 17m in the specified rangesThe CW Club RBN spotter can display alerts for various operating awards/activities of FOC and CWops, by retrieving an user's list of needed callsigns/bands from the respective Award Tools (FOC Award Tools, CWops Award Tools).
If you're a member of either club and already upload your logs to the award tools, you can immediately be notified of new spots which are valid for the various operating awards by selecting the respetive checkboxes in the filter tab.
You can refer to this screenshot: 1. Enter your own callsign, 2. Select the desired awards for which you want to be alerted, 3. Hit the "Refresh" symbol to load your needed callsign lists from the CWops/FOC Award Tools.
There are two display options: By default, spots that are new points for awards will be shown in yellow on the normal bandmap. You can also remove all other spots if you activate the checkbox "Show only needed stations on bandmap". If you hover your mouse cursor over the spot, a small popup will show for which award the spot counts.
The award functions are currently only available on the web interface. The same function will eventually also be implemented for the telnet interface.
Note: If you want to suppress certain alerted calls, you can add them into your alert list with an exclamation mark in front of them, e.g. !DJ5CW
will mean no alerts will be generated for DJ5CW. To complete remove a call from the bandmap, prepend a tilde, e.g. ~DJ5CW
.
You can receive the spots via telnet by connecting to rbn.telegraphy.de
on port 7000
. Filtering by club, continent (including "custom" skimmer selections), band and speed is implemented for the telnet port, as well as the block list (calls with a ~ in the alert box).
Award filters are not yet available. Any changes you make to your filters here on the website automatically applies to the telnet port. If you need multiple sets of filters, simply use SSIDs like DJ5CW-1, DJ5CW-2 and log in accordingly. If you think that additional filters could be helpful, let me know!
You can switch between the telnet stream filtered by club members and a raw stream (all spots) by entering set/clubs
and set/raw
respectively.
If you want to reduce the spot load, issue the command set/nodupes
. If enabled, only one spot per callsign on the same frequency will be posted in a 5 minute window. To switch back to all spots, enter set/dupes
.
Ham Radio Deluxe users: If you don't see any spots, please try switching to the VE7CC output format (CC11) by entering set/ve7cc
. You can switch back with set/normal
It is possible to include a bandmap (possibly adjusted to your own needs) on your own website, e.g. a club website (example: UFT). If you need this, feel free to contact Fabian, DJ5CW and discuss the technical details.
