Understanding the Reverse Beacon Network and Its Role in Amateur Radio Propagation

The Reverse Beacon Network (RBN) enhances amateur radio operations by using automated beacons to receive signals from operators worldwide. It differs from traditional spotting services like Dxspot or Dxcluster by focusing on reverse propagation reporting, which shows who has spotted your signal. This is particularly useful for digital modes and CW, allowing you to track your own and others' activity effectively. With contributions from volunteers, the RBN works alongside tools like WSPR and Dxmaps, providing real-time propagation insights for ham operators.
