| CHANGELOG ][ RNA / REU / RWW | NDB Weblog | My Loggings | Site Index | ]
RNA / REU and RWW (or Rxx collectively) are systems that bring together information on over 6500 NDBs, DGPS and Navtex stations and Ham Radio Beacons, cross-referenced against logs taken at over 250 locations by contributing listeners throughout the world.
Most of the information in these systems is collected from postings on the NDB List by editors Pat and Vincent in Europe and by myself for listeners elsewhere - 5 on the diagram.
Rxx also allows any listeners entire log to be exported as a set of NDB WebLog files that can also be fed into WWSU to show what stations have been heard and when - 1 on the diagram.
NDB WebLog is a completely separate system designed for individual listeners to make their own logs and obtain statistics on NDBs, DGPS and now Navtex Stations they have received. Log listings can be exported in a multitude of formats and then emailed to the NDB List - 4 on the diagram.
WWSU by Alex Wiecek is a complete database of many thousands of NDBs that runs directly on your PC. The full version of 6.1 (available for $15) can be used to generate and maintain logs of signals received - 3 on the diagram. WWSU also features import and export mechanisms that allow it to import NDB WebLog data either from your own NDB WebLog or from NDB WebLog files generated automatically by RNA /REU or RWW - 2 on the diagram.
Many people now use Rxx to export their initial log to WWSU, then use WWSU to add new loggings and export the data to NDB WebLog to generate customised text listings that they email to the NDB List where Pat, Vincent and myself then take that data and upload it to Rxx - whew! All of this AND tune a radio???
Martin Francis (that's me) is the designer and programmer of Rxx (with inspiration and initial data by Andy Robins) and of NDB WebLog. With that clarification out of the way, please read on!
| Please read the important notice for Windows NDB WebLog Users. |
What is NDB WebLog?
Many NDB radio enthusiasts publish their reception logs on the web. This is often very useful data to have as it enables other
listeners located nearby to get a good idea of what beacons are around and are likely to be receivable in the neighbourhood.
However, every DXer seems to have his or her own way of presenting the information. In a bid to provide a standard way of viewing
this kind of data, I produced the NDB Weblog.
What's New?
Better suport for Navtex Stations in statistics; Support for WWSU 6.2's duplicate ID/frequency mechanism; Mechanism to fetch aditional details for a station from RWW system when online. See the Changelog for details and a complete version history.

DOWNLOAD NDB WEBLOG STATION EDITOR - V1.0.4 (28 Feb 2004)
I no longer use this tool for preparing my own logs, prefering instead to use WWSU 6.1 available from Alex Wiecek's site: http://www.ve3gop.com.
The full version of WWSU 6.1 is available for $15 and is highly recomended. However, NDB WebLog Station editor is still available for thoise who want a free (albeit slower to use) alternative.
Windows version only. See the Changelog for details

Important Information for Windows XP SP2 Users NDB WebLog uses popup windows to display progress meters, beacon reports and various other controls. There is a problem with XP SP2 that normally prevents you from disabling the popup blocker from affecting files Instead of running the system using the command c:\ndbweblog\index.html, use the following command instead |
