We're all amateurs, RBN is a loose collection of amateurs all running various versions of various software with various radios, antennas, and systems. I doubt seriously that the S+N/N reports are accurate and comparable in the engineering sense. They probably are valid when taken relatively, over time.

I figure, if I called CQ once and he heard me, I must have been somewhat above the noise at his QTH. :-)

Skimmer can answer this:

On the RBN, each decoded signal's signal-to-noise ratio is shown as measured by
Skimmer... but what resolution bandwidth is being used to make this measurement?
Is it different for each instance of Skimmer, or are all spots on the RBN
normalized to the same bandwidth?
