RBNHole is down

#1

There have been no RBNHole spots since yesterday at 1359Z. CW activators take note.

Add this bit of text >>>> @vk3arr <<<< somewhere to any reports of RBNHOLE not working n the reflector so that Andrew gets a message notifying him. Just in case he doesn’t check on here for a while.

#3

Do we have any more information on why? Or how we can help?

The RBN changed their login format as part of a new beta test or something (judging from the banner). That impacted what RBNHole was expecting to see when it needs to log in. I will have to fiddle a bit to sort that out, but shouldn’t take too long

#5

Much appreciated. Please do let me know if I can help.

Thank you Andrew!

You’re an “IT mountain” and the best friend of the CW activator!

It looks like RBNhole is still down. . . And now it’s up at 1257Z! Thanks!

I guess RBNHole can occasionally miss forwarding an RBN spot to SOTAWatch. For example, F/HB9CBR/P never got spotted on SOTAwatch on 30M at 1319Z today, despite numerous RBN spots.

Someone else spotted him, so RBNHole doesn’t. It’s a feature, not a bug :wink:

#12

Nobody spotted him on 30M - that was my point :wink:

He was spotted two minutes earlier on 20M but not when he qsy’d to 30M.

My dad always warned me I’d go blind. I’ll take a look sometime and see what I can find. I’m still guessing spot lockout, but who knows? :smiley:
