Reverse Beacon Network
By Steve McGarry, WS2C
CW Skimmer, developed by Alex, VE3NEA, debuted in early 2008 as a

DXing tool to monitor pileups efficiently. The software soon sparked con-
troversy among contesters over its use, particularly after telnet capability

was added, allowing spots to feed directly into contest logging software.
The debate compared its use to DX clusters and whether it constituted
"assistance." Around the same time, the Reverse Beacon Network (RBN)
concept emerged from discussions between Felipe, PY1NB and another
ham radio enthusiast, building on the DXWatch.com framework to display
skimmer spots. As the RBN developed, it faced similar debates about its

impact on contesting rules, ultimately being categorized alongside tradi-
tional DX clusters for assisted and multi-op contest entries. The RBN con-
tinued expanding, enhancing its capabilities with tools like the Signal

Analysis Tool introduced in 2010.
In this month?s presentation, Club member Steve McGarry, WS2C, will focus
on the RBN and its use :
? Review the reverse beacon concept
? Examine the reverse beacon network RBN blueprint
? Consider components required to assemble a working software defined
receiver (SDR) node package
for Telnet transmission to the CW reverse beacon network servers
? Deploy RBN spots in station operations through variety of applications
including web application DX
cluster nodes and common station logging software

This is a bare metal project with a Linux OS. The software transforms the
hardware to many devices including but
not limited to an SDR transceiver or SDR receiver. Steve will emphasize how
the casual operators pursuing DX,
laidback contester, and everyday operators can benefit from RBNs and how to
deploy this tool at their stations to
advance operating goals.
This presentation is not a weighty lecture. The aim is to inform,
entertain, and spark interest in the RBN tool and

SDRs. The value of this project is that it dovetails with an array of
Amateur Radio interests from computers, oper-
ating, SDRs, and receive antennas. It presents some unique challenges, for
example, the receiver node must exist

side by side with a high-power station operation.
Come join us at our monthly membership meeting at 7 PM at the Pfeiffer
Community Center for this interesting
presentation. See you there!on January  8 2025

I'm trying to get ahead of the issue.? My neighbor across the street has solar installers there.? I called the company to see if they put any sort of RFI abatement on their installation and got a curt NO.??
?Anybody in the group have any experience with handling the problem?

Just a quick note.? Had a real bad day yesterday, which I won't get into (the solar panel stuff was the least of my worries).? I'm compiling all the info everyone has given.? I'll probably touch base with ARRL on Monday to get their help.? I'm hoping for the best.? I've had quite a few replies that said they DID'NT have any problems.? I'll have to wait until the installation is complete and see.? Meanwhile, REAL LIFE has to take priority.? Again, thanks for all your responses.?73 de Steve KZ2I

Subject: [SJDXA] Amsterdam Island update
Message-ID: <82D67767-76DE-4CCA-93A7-427E43AD1FD8@comcast.net>

I?ve been checking this live satellite view from zoom earth that shows the progress of the Amsterdam Island fire. Not looking good right now for Martin-de-Vivies. It was around 700 acres when we first heard about it a couple days ago. Now 1,905 acres. 
Currently getting some light rain Wind direction from NW. (weather channel). 
The base is located around the end of the larger red plume. As I mentioned, the base was evacuated to a fishing boat and remains offshore.

Subject: [SJDXA] New DXCC award program
Message-ID: <7968287B-499E-48B2-8A3D-E640BD5FAE7B@comcast.net>

I just caught this from the recent annual ARRL board meeting.  FYI


The Programs & Services Committee and headquarters staff from the Radiosport Department are moving ahead with the creation of a new DXCC award -- DXCC Trident -- which will recognize those who achieve DXCC using CW, phone, and digital modes. Higher achievement endorsements can be earned at the 200, 300, and Honor Roll levels. The DXCC Trident award is intended to spur greater on-air operating and to inspire those using digital modes to also develop their skills in, and practice, CW and SSB.

?There is all sorts of hash going around that they don't have proper authorization/license.? They have also been noticeably absent on the bands.? Maybe just doing antenna work?? I can't believe Martti would be operating without good permission.? I guess just wait and see.?

SV1AG/A -- Mount Athos (Update Jan. 26th)?From QRZ.com (edited by OPDX):?BREAKING NEWS FROM THE MT ATHOS PENINSULA?January 26, 2025?Our Mt. Athos written amateur radio permit allows us to operate for 10days which means that we will be on the air until February 3, 2025. Wehave about 10K QSOs in the log and have been on the air on multiple bandsincluding 160m and QO-100 satellite. Yesterday we have made the firstlog upload to ClubLog and enabled OQRS.?ClubLog: https://clublog.org/charts/?c=SV1GA/A?We will be deploying our last antennas today for the 80m and 60m bands.Please note that all our FT8 operating is Fox/Hound using the latestversion of the WSJT-X software (ver. 2.7 RC8).?We would like to think that this Mt. Athos activation is just a firststep in opening the doors to other teams to activate this desired amateurradio entity. Our goal is to show that amateur radio DXpeditions haveno impact on the monastic life of the Holy Mountain. On the contrary,it creates goodwill and allows the 3 million amateurs around world tosee this beautiful and serene place with different eyes.?All proceeds from the SV1GA/A DXpedition are donated to the Mt. Athosmonasteries to support them in their efforts to restore and maintainthe historical sites on the Holy Mountain.?The donations are done by PayPal through GRACE CHARITABLE FOUNDATIONwhich is listed as a Public Charity 501(c)(3) entity (tax deductibledonations) in the USA.?Mount Athos has been listed as a World Heritage Site since 1988.?https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=3B5YJEXL55Q9U?

FYI that I will be back in St Lucia arriving on 2/25 and staying there through 3/4. I typically operate with my personal call J68SS but a group of us will be there and you'll also hear J62K on the air as well- especially in the ARRL DX SSB contest. If anyone needs J6 on a band or mode please let me know in advance and we can set something up. Thanks. 73

regards,
Steve Strauss- NY3B
