MOST SERVERS ARE AVOIDING PSK AND OTHER MODE POINT TO POINT QSO`S
DOESN'T MEAN THEY HAVE TO BE      BUT THAT IS THE NORM

The reporting is via any reception of  received by a station
regardless of frequency.  Yes, there  has to be someone on a frequency
for it to be heard and relayed in.  My next thoughts in this process
are 1.  Servers should always use RS ID when IDing  , this would
trigger people's software to potentially move to the frequency if they
have their RS ID RX set to a wide range and 2. For servers to be
located close to where there is routine monitoring.  Not a perfect
idea, but something that could work.  So, if I am parked on a common
frequency where many people monitor for routine digital QSOs, I can
report all activity including  the occasional IDs from a server.  I
can have QSOs as I normally do and also be helpful in providing
reception reports of live servers.  I can't remember all the QRG for
the servers but it might well have been carefully selected frequencies
to avoid others.  My idea is the reverse, deliberately park close to
active frequencies.

DOES THE REPORTER HAVE TO BE ON FREQUENCY ?
THE STANDARD SERVER IS NOT WHERE MOST PSKMAIL
ACTIVITY IS LIKE I THOUGHT THE REPORTER WAS COVERING AN AREA WHERE
MOST PSK QSO TAKE PLACE AND THEN ANYTHING INSIDE A CERTAIN SIZED
WINDOW IS REPORTED   I MEAN IT IS 10`S OF KHZ DIFFERENCE

I could easily add that, what is the format?

I wonder if we could somehow mould PSK Reporter to provide a "real
time" map of active servers.  PSK Reporter has the advantage of having
a cadre of hams that use software that automatically upload reception
reports , this includes Fldigi and Multipsk.  I do not see ALL PSK
modes that PSKMAIL uses listed at PSK Reporter but I think we could
easily persuade Phil to add what we need.  Then, anyone looking for an
active list of servers might use PSK Reporter, select PSK250, and see
who is active.  We would need to have a quick visual method of
discerning the servers from the end users, but I am sure we can figure
that out.
