Hi Lynn,
True and a very nice map it is indeed. The issue I was trying to point
out and not doing a very good job is that with gab or twitter the band
opening data could be "pushed out" to subscribers in near real time,
something needed for quick openings on 6m. Besides who doesn't own a
smart phone? I suspect a large percentage of hams do and if they want
basic band opening data that surely is one way to "get it out" quickly
unless there is some huge server delay. There may be something already
out on the internet that does something like this I'm just not aware of it.
I could be wrong, but a quick look around WSPRnet.org did not show me
anyway to get data except for me going there and digging it out.
Nothing wrong with that, just not what I thought Wayne was looking for.
I had thought I might help out WSPRnet in the near future as the idea of
running a low power beacon has peaked my interest of late.
All the best and 73.

No twitter, nothing funky, just a map showing stations that are
transmitting and who hears them.

3) Now to beat up the computer geeks. Someone could set up a twitter
or gab account and advertise it to the ham community at large via
reflectors and use the account specifically for reporting band
openings. Then you could get notified on the ubiquitous smart phone
and who knows maybe there is or will be soon a rig remote control app
for your phone.
