<p>Note that the server owner has not necessarily enabled all these data sources. In particular it is common to
disable RBN, to avoid the server being swamped with FT8 traffic, and to disable APRS-IS and UK Packet Net so
that the server only displays stations where there is likely to be an operator physically present for a QSO.</p>

<p>As of the time of writing in August 2026, I think Spothole captures most outdoor radio programmes that have a
defined, downloadable reference list, and almost certainly those that have a spotting/alerting API. If you know
of one I've missed, please let me know!</p>

<p>Mostly, but not quite. While POTA spots generally come from the POTA source and so on, there are a few
exceptions:</p>
<ol>
<li>Sources like GMA and Parks 'n' Peaks provide spots for multiple different programmes (SIGs).</li>
<li>Cluster spots may name SIGs in their comment, in which case the source remains the Cluster, but a SIG is
assigned.

<li>Some SIGs, such as Worked all Britain (WAB), don't have their own spotting site and can <em>only</em> be
identified through comments on spots retrieved from other sources.
