Just for fun, I did an analysis of RBN RTTY spots for the recent BARTG contest using the “DB Browser for SQLite”. RBN CSV files were easily converted to SQLite tables. Here’s what I found:

39 RTTY spotters worldwide

21 RTTY spotters in NA

16 RTTY spotters in EU

2 RTTY spotters in OC

There were a total of 292793 spots sent to RBN, consisting of 2185 individual callsigns (DX entities).

643 DX entities from NA

1251 DX entities from EU

59 DX entities from OC

45 DX entities from SA

148 DX entities from AS

39 DX entities from AF

I just got my Red Pitaya running as a RTTY skimmer server and here are my statistics:

I sent a total of 3500 spots to RBN, consisting of 367 individual DX entities.

I wish a few more of these contesters would enjoy a "conversational" QSO with the handful of us that do so regularly.
