You can download the RBN raw data from: http://www.reversebeacon.net/raw_data/
After uncompressing the CSV files, you can use a the "find" command at a DOS prompt to collect your spots: find "WA3MEJ" *.csv > wa3mej.csv After that, it's straightforward to import into Excel and analyze from there. 73, Rick -----Original Message----- From: Topband [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2012 5:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Topband: REVERSE BEACON I am planning a new 160m transmit antenna to be erected in the next few weeks. Before I install it however I want to get a good history (over a few weeks) of spots from the reverse beacon network. My problem is that instead of going to WWW.DXMAPS.COM I would like to get the spots from the source. Is this possible? Is there a utility/program out there that will allow me to plug my call into it and collect all of my spots for me... displaying them on my computer ready to be archived/plotted.. whatever? My new antenna will be a 75 ft Vertical elevated about 8 ft above the ground to include 20 1/4 wave radials. This should be superior to my current Inverted L with 4 radials 6 ft above the ground that the deer keep getting into.
