The reason PSK reporter is so one-sided to FT8 is that the WSJT software
AUTOMATICALLY sends the spot to PSK Reporter. If you are on CW or SSB, you
have to MANUALLY enter your spot on PSK Reporter. Don’t draw too many
conclusions from the PSK graphs, they are substantially FT8 reports.

out that I am indeed getting out and the band is open..."
If PSKReporter is to believed, total global CW activity across bands is now
less than 1% of FT8. For example, look at the report for the last 12 hours
(0.4%).
Last month, W8NN and I delivered a presentation to the SouthEast Michigan DX

Yes, there is a section on the reversebeacon.net website where you can
download data files with all the historical spots.

After watching these kind of results for months and months until I was
bleeding from the eyeballs, I came to some conclusions.
1) There are calm steady propagation nights, and there are wildly varying
propagation nights. The former is like a windless night, and the latter
windy. The latter is
You can download the RBN raw data from:

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.
