RBN Analytics

Skimmer frequency accuracy

To be a good RBN citizen a skimmer should have a frequency accuracy of 2ppm or better.

VERY IMPORTANT: To use the data below to improve the accuracy of your skimmer, multiply the current value of FreqCalibration in your skimmer software’s settings file with the suggested adjustment factor listed below.

The location of the settings files are:
CW Skimmer Server: %appdata%\Afreet\Products\SkimSrv\SkimSrv.ini
CW Skimmer: %appdata%\Afreet\Products\CwSkimmer\CwSkimmer.ini

The data listed below is based on yesterday’s RBN data, 00:00 to 23:59 UTC. This means that when making adjustments, changes in calibration will typically not have full impact on the listed data until the second day after the change.

The deviation estimates are based on spots on all active bands (40m and higher) from the respective skimmer. If different hardware is used for the different bands, the deviation number may thus not represent the actual deviation for a particular band. It is a good practice to run a separate instance of RBN Aggregator with a unique SSID for each hardware, (SM7IUN-1, SM7IUN-2, etc.)

A link to the software used to produce the tables can be found at the bottom of this page. It runs as a cron job in an Ubuntu container on my Synology server and uploads to this WordPress website shortly after midnight UTC daily.

The deviation estimation is done in two steps. The first step uses a small number of highly accurate skimmers (called “anchors” in the code, typically GPSDO-controlled skimmers) as reference. The whole estimation process is then repeated one more time but using both the anchors as well as all skimmers determined to be the “good” as reference. The “good” skimmers are those with less than 0.15ppm average deviation from the anchors, producing more than 100 qualifying spots (the qualification criteria of spots are outlined below.)

Repeating the analysis with this this extended set of skimmers as frequency references drastically increases the geographical coverage of the analysis thereby increasing the number of qualifying spots which means a much more reliable deviation estimates for all skimmers. The skimmers used as reference skimmers in the second stage (i.e. both anchors and “good”) are marked with an asterisk in the table below.

When looking at the numbers, keep in mind that the deviations estimated by the algorithm are 100 to 1000 times smaller than the 100Hz resolution of RBN frequency data. The input data is thus extremely “noisy” which inevitably leads to statistical variations. This is also the reason for not including spots under a certain frequency. Doing so would skew the statistics and cause underestimation of the frequency error.

Due to propagation characteristics, operator behavior (e.g. small QSY), and just statistical variations due to the 100Hz rounding, some skimmers selected as reference skimmers in the first stage may have more than 0.2ppm deviation in the second stage. This is not an error.

If you do not see your skimmer in the list below in spite of it successfully feeding spots to RBN the most likely reason is that it is off in frequency. The analytics discards all spots from skimmers having more than 0.5kHz frequency error.

if you want to implement an automated calibration of your skimmer you can access the skew data in machine-readable CSV format here https://sm7iun.se/rbnskew.csv

376410 RBN spots between 2025-02-21 00:00 and 23:59 UTC.
105894 spots (28.1%) were from reference skimmers (*).
Average spot flow was 261 per minute from 207 active CW skimmers.

186174 spots from 200 skimmers qualified for analysis by meeting
the following criteria:
 * Mode of spot is CW.
 * Also spotted by a reference skimmer within 1000 spots.
 * Also spotted by a reference skimmer within 10s. 
 * SNR is 3dB or higher. 
 * Frequency is 7000kHz or higher. 
 * Frequency deviation from reference skimmer is 0.5kHz or less.
 * At least 5 spots from same skimmer in data set.

Historical skimmer frequency accuracy

Below you will find historical accuracy data for the past ten days. Do not be concerned over minor daily variations. Since RBN spots only have 100Hz frequency accuracy, the input data is very noisy. Even for a perfectly accurate skimmer, the typical RMS rounding error across all shortwave bands is around 3ppm. This means that for a skimmer with 1000 spots per day the statistical variation is up to 0.2ppm. For skimmers with less than 100 spots per day the statistical variation can be above 2ppm. The content of the table below is based on the historical content of the above table.

Skimmer    0221  0220  0219  0218  0217  0216  0215  0214  0213  0212

It is the owners of these skimmers who make this web page possible. Thank you.

To get good geographic coverage and a good size dataset, a two-step method is used for the analysis shown above. Since the second step also relies on spots from skimmers with slightly lower accuracy the displayed error for the anchor skimmers may not always be 0.0, even though they are perfectly accurate.
