Reporter is not showing any stations or my station.
Any help would be appreciated

I am having the same problem on 6M recently. Plenty of spots on HamSpots and I am working stns. 

Did you ever get a reason for no spots on PSKR?
Thanks

One thing to look out for -- sometime PSKReporter thinks that you are reporting the spots on the wrong band (there are a number of monitoring sites that do this). If so, then it removes the frequency/band from your spot before saving it. Thus, if you are filtering by 6m, you might not see your 6m spots. However, if you really are spotting on 6m, then this should not happen. You can check by looking at the Bad QRG section of the stats page -- if you see your callsign there, then that is bad. 

If you are really confident, then let me know, and I can see why the algorithm decided that you were reporting the wrong band information. [In brief, if the majority of reporters report a callsign on one band, and another reporter reports it on a different band for the *same* 15 second period, then the latter reporter gets a 'strike'. Too many strikes, and the frequencies reported get ignored.]

Hi Phillip,

I seem to be experiencing the same issue with spots not being reported and showing up on the map.. Seems intermittent sometimes.
I'm not on the Bad QRG list. First started noticing issue about 3+ weeks ago.

Wonder how much is 'too many'.
Here in the club, we often use 2 stations simultaneously,
stn 1 on a crowded band, stn 2 CQing on a dead band (say, 10m)
to catch band opening. The two stations transmit in sync to
avoid possible mutual interference.
Looks like those rare VK/ZLs who spot us on 10 don't have
a chance for their reports to appear on the map.
And those are the reports that really have a value, unlike the
numerous reports from EU which is 10 times closer.

Hello Phil-
Still seeing plenty of Ops spotting me on HamSpots but hardly any spots on PSKR. On the rare occasion that I do see a lot of spots on PSKR after about 20minues I do not see any new spots.
I am not on the Bad QRG report. Any other possibilities? I am making Qsos and stns are spotting me on HamSpots so what could be the issue.
Thanks;
Bill W2PKY

I took a quick look and there is nothing obviously broken. It could be that the hamspots spotters are not also spotting to pskreporter. hamspots takes a feed from pskreporter so it will always have more spots....

Hello Phil-

With the start of the 6M skip season many Ops will be monitoring the band for DX spots. Today there is a station in SA posting spots on 6M that are from one of the popular HF bands.
Is there a way to allow approved monitor stations to remove these error spots? I realize your plate is busy with more important issues. 
Have you considered setting up "Patreon" to bring in cash to pay workers to run the site? I'm sure you would be amazed with the level of support provided by this method of raising income.
