[digitalradio] Why HamSpots dropped support for ROS
Why HamSpots dropped support for ROS. After I publicly exposed the ROS Auto-Spotting behaviour, I indicated to Jose (Mr ROS) that, using the Cluster for auto-spotting wasn't the best idea, and that I was willing to provide a facility on HamSpots.net for automated spotting from his software. Similar to the dediacted websites that currently exist for the other Reverse-Beacon networks, WSPR, JT65, PSK(reporter) and CW(Skimmer). Included in the (free) offer was a dedicated subdomain ros.hamspots.net After several emails, it became clear that Mr ROS would not allow any interaction with HIS software (What interaction?? it would be one-way, ROS-HamSpots) and he would continue to use the existing DX Cluster network to propagate the ROS Auto-Spots. I chose to remove the ROS Spotting, Chat Reporting facilities of HamSpots.net after that. The only public ROS reporting is purely statistical. de Laurie, VK3AMA PS. ROS Auto-Spot spam is currently 97% of all ROS Cluster spots (7 day period) http://www.obriensweb.com/digispotter.html Chat, Skeds, and Spots all in one (resize to suit) Facebook= http://www.facebook.com/pages/digitalradio/123270301037522 Yahoo!

I think is was very gracious of you to offer. Too bad he did not take up the offer. 73 de Andy K3UK On Sat, Jul 17, 2010 at 2:31 AM, Laurie, VK3AMA group...@vkdxer.com wrote: Why HamSpots dropped support for ROS.

RE: [digitalradio] RE-NEW LICENSE
I just renewed my license via ULS, as described below. I had an FRN, but no password, so I requested a password on Monday 7/12 and received one immediately via email. After logging in, I applied for renewal, which took less than a minute. Yesterday morning, I logged in to check the status of my renewal, and found that it had been issued on 7/13; a hardcopy arrived by postal mail yesterday afternoon.

Re: [digitalradio] RE-NEW LICENSE
Check out ARRL's web site at http://www.arrl.org/renewals which says: As one of the many benefits we offer ARRL members, ARRL members will automatically receive a form from ARRL with instructions on license renewal once they are just outside the 90 day window for renewal of their amateur license. This will be a letter with a form at the bottom of the letter to sign and return to the ARRL VEC. Amateurs can renew no sooner than 90 days before the expiration of the license. License modifications or NON-Vanity renewal procedures are a free membership service. Vanity renewals require a FCC Regulatory Fee and a $5 ARRL processing fee. - Original Message - From: John Becker, WØJAB To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, July 17, 2010 12:42 PM Subject: Re: [digitalradio] RE-NEW LICENSE At 11:52 AM 7/17/2010, you wrote: And if you are an ARRL member, they will do it for you free. 73 Buddy WB4M Thanks buddy, and yes, a life member Do I need to do anything or is this an automatic happens thing they do?
