[WT-support] 3G/4G data usage

[Dez Watson]

Hi Ian,

You can get an idea of the total amount of RBN data you might receive by 
checking the RBN archives:

http://www.reversebeacon.net/raw_data

For instance:

Day 1 of CQWW CW 2018 total filesize of RBN data was 43.6 MB

Day 2 of CQWW CW 2018 total filesize of RBN data was 45.5 MB

I tend to not to have any wired Internet connection (at contest QTH) so 
always rely on 3G/4G when contesting;

I tend limit web-browsing and if you really want to throttle back the 
data, you can filter the RBN feed which

you receive e.g. the band(s) you are interested in, only spots heard in 
your country/zone/continent. There are various

tools and methods to achieve this.

I think the data usage example by Stefan and Andy are what you might 
typically expect.

Dez, G3WW
