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!
