[Dxbase] Usage question for packet sysops?

[Neal Campbell]

Hi Jack,

Based on 44000 spots generated during the ARRL SSB Contest, here are some
assuptions:
1, Weekend spot trattic of 44K (which is way high, for instance CQWW RTTY
contest had 30K)
2. Spots are a maximum of 80 characters so I took an average of 40
characters
3. The total of week spots is the weekend spot load plus half of the weekend
spots (again quite conservative)

Given these assimptions, there are a total of 66000 spots at a total
character count of 2.6MB. With 4.3 weeks a month thats a monthly load of
11.26MB, Yearly load is 135.2 MB

Not such a factor for internet usage I hope?
