Station owners

Members who host a station on the RHR network see extra panels and pages in their account. This article explains them. To put a station on the network, see Offer a station.

The station panel on your overview

Your account overview shows a panel for each station you own, with:

• View usage and More analytics links.
• Health indicators: Heartbeat, Online and VPN, with how long the station has been in that state.
• Resource gauges: Memory, Storage, CPU and CPU Temp. of the station computer.
• Last 30 days: a summary of the station's time on the air.

The console's account menu also lists {Station} Usage for each station you own.

Monthly usage and payout

View usage opens the station's airtime for a month, with a month picker. The summary table breaks the month into Airtime, Billable, Unbillable and Payout. Below it, each connection is listed as on your own airtime pages, without the operators' identities.

Your payout is the station's share of the airtime billed to members, at the percentage agreed when the station joined the network. Unbillable time, such as free categories and your own use, earns no payout.

Analytics

More analytics shows the station's time on the air per day, by band and by mode, over a period you choose from 7 to 365 days. The analytics are totals only: they never identify operators.

Operating your own station

Airtime you use on your own station is recorded as Free - Owner or Friend and is not charged. The same category applies to members you have asked RHR to grant free use of your station.

Looking after the station

The station panel's health indicators are the quickest way to see that the station is reachable. If Heartbeat or Online is red, check the station's power and internet connection first. Members RHR has made administrators of a station also get a Site tab in the console toolbox, with controls to restart the station software or reboot the station computer.
