Wales Activations

Incase the RBN caused any confusion. The order was:

GW/NW-055

GW/MW-001

GW/MW-014

The self spots were correct. I still haven’t RTFM’ed RBNHole to understand why it does not sequentially step with alerts regardless of time frame for multi summit days. I know I’m being ignorant currently. Ran out of time to experiment with the alert text strings…

Thanks for CW chases. Got a bit mad on 001 :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:Time for SSB tomorrow hopefully in South Wales.

Weather is much cooler, hopefully will be able to have time for a 4th summit tomorrow. Gone well today.

73, Jonathan

RBNHole creates a spotting window based on your alert times, from 1 hour before to 3 hours after. Depending on your alert sequence these windows can overlap. In that situation, the closest alert to the current time is chosen.

You can adjust the window with S+X and S-X in the comments where X is the time in hours either before or after that you want the window expanded (or shrunk) to. So, by default S-1 S+3 is the normal window.

…and for those days when the timing could go any which way thanks to traffic, weather or whatever, there’s always the wildcard alert (See RBN Hole Introduction - #9 by GM4LLD ) which will get you the spots, but mean you have to tell chasers which summit you’re on…
