FWIW, this version of the retrieve URL works consistently well for me:
curl -s -d "senderCallsign=<CALLSIGN>"
https://retrieve.pskreporter.info/query
I'm interested only in retrieving results for one callsign, not exactly
what you're after, if I understand you correctly. I invoke it from within
C code but it works equally well from a bash terminal.
Hope this helps,
