203 A DX Cluster is a packet node where DX chasers on any band or mode can
204 post rare or interesting stations that they have worked or heard. Of
205 course other people are doing the same thing too, so you can find new
206 DX as well as telling others about the stations you have worked.
207 Clusters tend to be linked to each other so that the amount of people
208 using them is increased, thereby increasing the amount of posted DX.
209 Other information can be found on clusters such as on-line call books,
210 mail etc. You can talk to other stations connected to the cluster
211 network too, in real time, whether at the node you are logged into or
212 on another node connected to the network. You can also use converse
213 mode, where several stations can talk to each other in the same way.
214 Of course, the DX is still posted to you all the while!

219 PacketCluster nodes have been around since roughly 1985. The original
220 PacketCluster idea came from Dick Newell, AK1A, and ran under DOS. In
221 about 1992 Dick stopped the development of the PacketCluster software
222 for amateur radio. Many systems are still using this relatively old
225 There are several new compatible cluster programs around now,
226 including DXSpider. DXSpider is a clone of PacketCluster software
227 that runs under several operating systems including Linux and Windows.
228 Linux is fast becoming the choice for amateur radio stations because
229 of it's flexibility, reliability and the lack of the memory
230 limitations of DOS. Linux supports multitasking and is also
231 multiuser. It has support for AX25, ROSE, NetROM and TCPIP built in,
232 making it the ideal choice for amateur radio. It is also totally
235 DXSpider was conceived and begun in 1998 by Dirk Koopman, G1TLH as an
236 exercise in perl programming. It has developed rapidly and today is a
237 very powerful cluster program. It was designed to be totally
238 compatible with the AK1A program, although several commands have been
239 extended to improve functionality.
241 This manual is designed to help you become familiar with the commands
242 that DXSpider supports and to help you get the best from the program
243 so you can enjoy working that rare DX! As DXSpider is being improved
244 all the time, commands will be added as time goes by, so make sure you
245 have the most upto date version of this manual. The latest version
246 will always be included with the cluster program so if you are unsure,
247 simply ask your sysop. The manual will also be available on the

254 You might not think that there is a lot of point of including a
255 section on how to log in and out of DXSpider. However, you would be
256 suprised at the difficulties some people have in simply getting in and
259 There are several ways a login might be achieved, dependant on how the
260 sysop has DXSpider configured. It is impossible for me to cover all
261 variations but here are the basic ones.

266 Simplicity itself. The usual C
\bCO
\bON
\bNN
\bNE
\bEC
\bCT
\bT command will log you straight
267 into the cluster and you will not have to do anything else.
268 Obviously, you will have to connect to the correct callsign. Some
269 nodes use an SSID with their call so you would have to add that.

282 There are several possibilities here, dependant on how the sysop has
283 configured his system. If you are connecting via netrom then you are
284 most probably connecting from another station. Listing the nodes in
285 that station with the N
\bNO
\bOD
\bDE
\bES
\bS command will tell you what callsign or
286 netrom alias to connect to. Then just issue the connect command from
287 there. It is possible that the netrom alias may connect you to a node
288 with an alias for the cluster, such as DXC. Just type this and you

300 With telnet connections, the source callsign is not seen by DXSpider,
301 so you will be asked to login with your callsign. To telnet to
302 DXSpider, you would connect to a specific port. There is no standard
303 at the moment for a cluster telnet port but ask the sysop if you are

314 All the above are possible ways of connecting to a DXSpider cluster.
315 You may have some or all of these available to you. There may be one
316 or two additional ways to connect dependant on the network local to
317 you. However I am sure you get the idea.

322 Logging out can be done by simply issuing the standard B
\bBY
\bYE
\bE command.
324 You could also send a disconnect if you are using AX25, or a C
\bCL
\bLO
\bOS
\bSE
\bE
325 command if you are connected via telnet. If you do not log out
326 gracefully using one of the above commands, you may find you are
327 unable to get a full connect next time. This may also happen if a
328 netrom connection drops. You may get connected, but nothing else will
329 happen because the program thinks you are still connected and will not
330 let you connect twice under the same call. However you could
331 reconnect by adding a number to the end of your call, for example
332 G0YLM-2. This can be done by either altering your MYCALL setting in
333 the TNC or by altering your program configuration.

338 Once logged in to the cluster, you should set your details so that
339 anybody who wishes to contact you can find out who and where you are.
340 There are four items to set, your name, qth, location and home node.
341 Setting these details also allows the use of the SHOW/HEADING and
342 SHOW/SUN commands from within the cluster. Unless you set your QTH
343 and location, these commands cannot function. Once you have set your
344 name, DXSpider will greet you with it next time you login. Your QTH
345 setting is where you live and it is a good idea to add your locator to
346 this as the location setting is converted to latitude and longitude
347 once inputted. You can actually set your location in
348 latitude/longitude or as a locator. Setting your home node will tell
349 the program where you wish mail to be sent to you.

365 When all is said and done, this is the main function of a DX cluster.
366 In its simplest form you can just connect to the node and you will
367 start to receive DX spots almost immediately! You can check on recent
368 postings in either a general manner or on a particular band or mode.
369 You can even check DX by callsign or a fragment of a callsign. Of
370 course, once you get the hang of things, it is expected that you start
371 posting some yourself! After all, there would be no clusters if
372 people did not post DX and you get the added thrill of the hunt!

377 As we have already said, it is possible just to connect to the cluster
378 and you will receive spots automatically. However, you may wish to
379 check on spots just posted. Maybe you wish to see if a particular
380 band is open or if a certain callsign is active, perhaps a DXpedition.
381 The command to do this is S
\bSH

382 command will output the last 10 spots posted. It is possible to look
383 at more than this, for example the last 20 or 50 spots, by adding the
384 number to the command. You can make it even more specific by adding a
385 band in either wavelength or frequency, and/or any additional
386 information such as QSL details.

734 You will notice that EI5TCR is showing only that it has 7 users and
735 not giving the actual callsigns. This means that this node is on a
736 limited protocol of some kind, probably because of a contest situation
737 where slow radio links can block up and fail if too much information
738 is sent between nodes.

926 The first column is the actual message number. If the message is a
927 personal one to you, you will see a letter 'p' after this number. If
928 the message has been read, there will be a '-' between the message
929 number and the 'p'. This only works for personal messages. The next
930 column shows the file size of the message. The third column shows the
931 address the message was sent to and the next column shows who sent it.
932 The rest is fairly self-explanatory.

1013 Upto v1.44 it was not possible for the user to set their own filters.
1014 From v1.45 though that has all changed. It is now possible to set
1015 filters for just about anything you wish. If you have just updated
1016 from an older version of DXSpider you will need to update your new
1017 filters. You do not need to do anything with your old filters, they
1018 will be renamed as you update.
1021 There are 3 basic commands involved in setting and manipulating
1022 filters. These are _
\ba_
\bc_
\bc_
\be_
\bp_
\bt, _
\br_
\be_
\bj_
\be_
\bc_
\bt and _
\bc_
\bl_
\be_
\ba_
\br. First we will look
1023 generally at filtering. There are a number of things you can filter in
1024 the DXSpider system. They all use the same general mechanism.
1027 In general terms you can create a 'reject' or an 'accept' filter which
1028 can have up to 10 lines in it. You do this using, for example ...
1037 where ..... are the specific commands for that type of filter. There
1038 are filters for spots, wwv, announce, wcy and (for sysops) connects.
1039 See each different accept or reject command reference for more
1042 There is also a command to clear out one or more lines in a filter.
1052 There is clear/xxxx command for each type of filter.
1055 and you can check that your filters have worked by the command ...
1063 For now we are going to use spots for the examples, but you can apply
1064 the same principles to all types of filter.

1070 There are two main types of filter, _
\ba_
\bc_
\bc_
\be_
\bp_
\bt or _
\br_
\be_
\bj_
\be_
\bc_
\bt. You can use
1071 either to achieve the result you want dependent on your own preference
1072 and which is more simple to do. It is pointless writing 8 lines of
1073 reject filters when 1 accept filter would do the same thing! Each
1074 filter has 10 lines (of any length) which are tried in order. If a
1075 line matches then the action you have specified is taken (ie reject
1076 means ignore it and accept means take it)
1079 If you specify reject filters, then any lines that arrive that match
1080 the filter will be dumped but all else will be accepted. If you use
1081 an accept filter, then ONLY the lines in the filter will be accepted
1082 and all else will be dumped. For example if you have a single line
1083 _
\ba_
\bc_
\bc_
\be_
\bp_
\bt filter ...
1087 accept/spots on vhf and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
1091 then you will _
\bO_
\bN_
\bL_
\bY get VHF spots _
\bf_
\br_
\bo_
\bm or _
\bt_
\bo CQ zones 14, 15 and 16.
1094 If you set a reject filter like this ...
1098 reject/spots on hf/cw
1102 Then you will get everything _
\bE_
\bX_
\bC_
\bE_
\bP_
\bT HF CW spots. You could make this
1103 single filter even more flexible. For example, if you are interested
1104 in IOTA and will work it even on CW even though normally you are not
1105 interested in CW, then you could say ...
1109 reject/spots on hf/cw and not info iota
1113 But in that case you might only be interested in iota and say:-
1117 accept/spots not on hf/cw or info iota
1121 which achieves exactly the same thing. You should choose one or the
1122 other until you are comfortable with the way it works. You can mix
1123 them if you wish (actually you can have an accept AND a reject on the
1124 same line) but don't attempt this until you are sure you know what you
1128 You can arrange your filter lines into logical units, either for your
1129 own understanding or simply convenience. Here is an example ...
1130 reject/spots 1 on hf/cw
1131 reject/spots 2 on 50000/1400000 not (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
1135 What this does is to ignore all HF CW spots and also rejects any spots
1136 on VHF which don't either originate or spot someone in Europe.
1139 This is an example where you would use a line number (1 and 2 in this
1140 case), if you leave the digit out, the system assumes '1'. Digits
1141 '0'-'9' are available. This make it easier to see just what filters
1142 you have set. It also makes it more simple to remove individual
1143 filters, during a contest for example.
1146 You will notice in the above example that the second line has
1147 brackets. Look at the line logically. You can see there are 2
1148 separate sections to it. We are saying reject spots that are VHF or
1149 above _
\bA_
\bP_
\bA_
\bR_
\bT from those in zones 14, 15 and 16 (either spotted there or
1150 originated there). If you did not have the brackets to separate the 2
1151 sections, then Spider would read it logically from the front and see a
1152 different expression entirely ...
1156 (on 50000/1400000 and by_zone 14,15,16) or call_zone 14,15,16
1160 The simple way to remember this is, if you use OR - use brackets.
1161 Whilst we are here CASE is not important. 'And BY_Zone' is just the
1162 same as 'and by_zone'.
1164 As mentioned earlier, setting several filters can be more flexible
1165 than simply setting one complex one. Doing it in this way means that
1166 if you want to alter your filter you can just redefine or remove one
1167 or more lines of it or one line. For example ...
1171 reject/spots 1 on hf/ssb
1175 would redefine our earlier example, or
1183 To remove all the filter lines in the spot filter ...

1210 acc/spot 2 on 50000/1400000 and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
1214 Note that the first filter has not been specified with a number. This
1215 will automatically be assumed to be number 1. In this case, we have

\b6. Each filter slot actually has a
1219 'reject' slot and an 'accept' slot. The reject slot is executed BEFORE
1223 It was mentioned earlier that after a reject test that doesn't match,
1224 the default for following tests is 'accept', the reverse is true for
1225 'accept'. In the example what happens is that the reject is executed
1226 first, any non hf/cw spot is passed to the accept line, which lets
1227 through everything else on HF. The next filter line lets through just
1228 VHF/UHF spots from EU.

1242 A
\bA.
\b.Do not be afraid to try a command to see if it will work, at the
1243 worst you will get an error message. If you require any help on a
1244 command, just type help followed by the command you want help on.
1245 Look at the "DXSpider Command Reference" section to see what help can

\bQ.
\b.How should I use the announce command?
1250 A
\bA.
\b.With respect. Use the command by all means, but please only use the
1251 "full" extension if absolutely necessary. It can create a LOT of
1252 messages passing between clusters.
1254 Q
\bQ.
\b.I like to be working in the shack while logged into the cluster but
1255 I can't be looking at the screen all the time. How can I be alerted
1256 when anything happens?
1258 A
\bA.
\b.Use the S

\bEP
\bP command. You can find information on this in the
1259 "DXSpider Command Reference" section.
1261 Q
\bQ.
\b.I got disconnected from the cluster and now I can't log back in
1262 again. What is wrong?
1264 A
\bA.
\b.Probably the cluster thinks you are still logged on and will not let
1265 you reconnect using the same call to prevent loops. Try logging on
1266 again adding an ssid to your callsign as DXSpider treats G0YLM and
1267 G0YLM-1 as different users.
1269 Q
\bQ.
\b.How do I know if I have got the latest version of this user manual?
1271 A
\bA.
\b.The latest and greatest will always be on the Website. It will also
1272 be included with every release of DXSpider. As always, if unsure, ask
1273 your sysop what version number is the latest.

1560 It is now possible to JOIN a group and have network wide conferencing
1561 to that group. DXSpider does not (and probably will not) implement the
1562 AK1A conference mode as this seems very limiting, is hardly used and
1563 doesn't seem to work too well anyway.
1565 This system uses the existing ANN system and is compatible with both
1566 other DXSpider nodes and AK1A clusters (they use ANN/<group>).
1568 You can be a member of as many "groups" as you want. To join a group
1573 JOIN FOC (where FOC is the group name)

1585 You can see which groups you are in by typing:-
1593 and you can see whether your mate is in the group, if he connects to

\b> Display an entry, if it exists, in a database
1716 This is the generic user interface to the database to the database
1717 system. It is expected that the sysop will add an entry to the local
1718 Aliases file so that users can use the more familiar AK1A style of
1727 but if he hasn't and the database really does exist (use DBAVAIL or
1728 SHOW/COMMAND to find out) you can do the same thing with:

1827 This is how you send a DX Spot to other users. You can, in fact, now
1828 enter the <freq> and the <call> either way round.
1838 will all give the same result. You can add some remarks to the end of
1839 the command and they will be added to the spot.
1843 DX FR0G 144600 this is a test
1847 You can credit someone else by saying:-
1851 DX by G1TLH FR0G 144.600 he isn't on the cluster
1855 The <freq> is compared against the available bands set up in the
1856 cluster. See SHOW/BANDS for more information.

\b> Echo the line to the output
1863 This command is useful in scripts and so forth for printing the line
1864 that you give to the command to the output. You can use this in
1865 user_default scripts and the SAVE command for titling and so forth
1867 The script will interpret certain standard "escape" sequences as
1872 \t - becomes a TAB character (0x09 in ascii)
1873 \a - becomes a BEEP character (0x07 in ascii)
1874 \n - prints a new line
1878 So the following example:-
1882 echo GB7DJK is a dxcluster
1890 GB7DJK is a dxcluster
1894 on the output. You don't need a \n on the end of the line you want to
1897 A more complex example:-
1901 echo GB7DJK\n\tg1tlh\tDirk\n\tg3xvf\tRichard

\b. Filtering things in DXSpider
1923 There are a number of things you can filter in the DXSpider system.
1924 They all use the same general mechanism.
1926 In general terms you can create a 'reject' or an 'accept' filter which
1927 can have up to 10 lines in it. You do this using, for example:-
1933 where ..... are the specific commands for that type of filter. There
1934 are filters for spots, wwv, announce, wcy and (for sysops) connects.
1935 See each different accept or reject command reference for more
1938 There is also a command to clear out one or more lines in a filter and
1939 one to show you what you have set. They are:-
1956 There is clear/xxxx command for each type of filter.
1958 For now we are going to use spots for the examples, but you can apply
1959 the principles to all types of filter.
1961 There are two main types of filter 'accept' or 'reject'; which you use
1962 depends entirely on how you look at the world and what is least
1963 writing to achieve what you want. Each filter has 10 lines (of any
1964 length) which are tried in order. If a line matches then the action
1965 you have specified is taken (ie reject means ignore it and accept
1968 The important thing to remember is that if you specify a 'reject'
1969 filter (all the lines in it say 'reject/spots' (for instance)) then if
1970 a spot comes in that doesn't match any of the lines then you will get
1971 it BUT if you specify an 'accept' filter then any spots that don't
1972 match are dumped. For example if I have a one line accept filter:-
1976 accept/spots on vhf and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
1980 then automatically you will ONLY get VHF spots from or to CQ zones 14
1981 15 and 16. If you set a reject filter like:
1985 reject/spots on hf/cw
1989 Then you will get everything EXCEPT HF CW spots, If you am interested
1990 in IOTA and will work it even on CW then you could say:-
1994 reject/spots on hf/cw and not info iota
1998 But in that case you might only be interested in iota and say:-
2002 accept/spots not on hf/cw or info iota
2006 which is exactly the same. You should choose one or the other until
2007 you are confortable with the way it works. Yes, you can mix them
2008 (actually you can have an accept AND a reject on the same line) but
2009 don't try this at home until you can analyse the results that you get
2010 without ringing up the sysop for help.
2012 Another useful addition now is filtering by US state
2016 accept/spots by_state VA,NH,RI,ME
2020 You can arrange your filter lines into logical units, either for your
2021 own understanding or simply convenience. I have one set frequently:-
2025 reject/spots 1 on hf/cw
2026 reject/spots 2 on 50000/1400000 not (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
2030 What this does is to ignore all HF CW spots (being a class B I can't
2031 read any CW and couldn't possibly be interested in HF :-) and also
2032 rejects any spots on VHF which don't either originate or spot someone
2035 This is an exmaple where you would use the line number (1 and 2 in
2036 this case), if you leave the digit out, the system assumes '1'. Digits
2038 You can leave the word 'and' out if you want, it is implied. You can
2039 use any number of brackets to make the 'expression' as you want it.
2040 There are things called precedence rules working here which mean that
2041 you will NEED brackets in a situation like line 2 because, without it,
2046 (on 50000/1400000 and by_zone 14,15,16) or call_zone 14,15,16
2050 annoying, but that is the way it is. If you use OR - use brackets.
2051 Whilst we are here CASE is not important. 'And BY_Zone' is just 'and
2054 If you want to alter your filter you can just redefine one or more
2055 lines of it or clear out one line. For example:-
2059 reject/spots 1 on hf/ssb
2071 To remove the filter in its entirty:-
2079 There are similar CLEAR commands for the other filters:-
2091 Once you are happy with the results you get, you may like to
2094 my example that filters hf/cw spots and accepts vhf/uhf spots from EU
2095 can be written with a mixed filter, eg:
2101 acc/spot 2 on 50000/1400000 and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
2105 each filter slot actually has a 'reject' slot and an 'accept' slot.
2106 The reject slot is executed BEFORE the accept slot.
2108 It was mentioned earlier that after a reject test that doesn't match,
2109 the default for following tests is 'accept', the reverse is true for
2110 first, any non hf/cw spot is passed to the accept line, which lets
2111 thru everything else on HF.
2113 The next filter line lets through just VHF/UHF spots from EU.

2120 HELP is available for a number of commands. The syntax is:-
2128 Where <cmd> is the name of the command you want help on.
2130 All commands can be abbreviated, so SHOW/DX can be abbreviated to
2131 SH/DX, ANNOUNCE can be shortened to AN and so on.
2133 Look at the APROPOS <string> command which will search the help
2134 database for the <string> you specify and give you a list of likely
2135 commands to look at with HELP.

2251 info <string> eg: iota or qsl
2252 by <prefixes> eg: G,M,2
2254 origin_dxcc <prefixes or numbers> eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)
2255 origin_itu <prefixes or numbers> or: G,GM,GW
2256 origin_zone <prefixes or numbers>
2257 origin_state <states> eg: VA,NH,RI,ME
2258 by_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>
2259 by_itu <prefixes or numbers>
2260 by_zone <prefixes or numbers>
2261 by_state <states> eg: VA,NH,RI,ME
2263 wx 1 filter WX announces
2264 dest <prefixes> eg: 6MUK,WDX (distros)
2272 rej/ann by_zone 14,15,16 and not by G,M,2
2276 You can use the tag 'all' to reject everything eg:

\b> Set a 'reject' filter line for spots
2291 Create a 'reject this spot' line for a filter.
2293 A reject filter line means that if the spot matches this filter it is
2294 dumped (not passed on). See HELP FILTERING for more info. Please read
2295 this to understand how filters work - it will save a lot of grief
2298 You can use any of the following things in this line:-
2302 freq <range> eg: 0/30000 or hf or hf/cw or 6m,4m,2m
2303 on <range> same as 'freq'
2304 call <prefixes> eg: G,PA,HB9
2305 info <string> eg: iota or qsl
2307 call_dxcc <prefixes or numbers> eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)
2308 call_itu <prefixes or numbers> or: G,GM,GW
2309 call_zone <prefixes or numbers>
2310 call_state <states> eg: VA,NH,RI,ME
2311 by_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>
2312 by_itu <prefixes or numbers>
2313 by_zone <prefixes or numbers>
2314 by_state <states> eg: VA,NH,RI,ME
2320 For frequencies, you can use any of the band names defined in
2321 SHOW/BANDS and you can use a subband name like: cw, rtty, data, ssb -
2322 thus: hf/ssb. You can also just have a simple range like: 0/30000 -
2323 this is more efficient than saying simply: on HF (but don't get too
2331 rej/spot 2 on vhf and not (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
2335 You can use the tag 'all' to reject everything eg:
2343 but this probably for advanced users...

2385 by <prefixes> eg: G,M,2
2387 origin_dxcc <prefixes or numbers> eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)

2391 by_itu <prefixes or numbers>
2392 by_zone <prefixes or numbers>

2406 broadcasts by stations in the US).

\b> Send a message to all stations
2463 All the SEND commands will create a message which will be sent either
2464 to an individual callsign or to one of the 'bulletin' addresses.
2466 SEND <call> on its own acts as though you had typed SEND PRIVATE, that
2467 is it will mark the message as personal and send it to the cluster
2468 node that that callsign is connected to. If the <call> you have
2469 specified is in fact a known bulletin category on your node (eg: ALL)
2470 then the message should automatically become a bulletin.
2472 You can have more than one callsign in all of the SEND commands.
2474 You can have multiple qualifiers so that you can have for example:-
2478 SEND RR COPY 123 PRIVATE G1TLH G0RDI
2482 which should send a copy of message 123 to G1TLH and G0RDI and you
2483 will receive a read receipt when they have read the message.
2485 SB is an alias for SEND NOPRIVATE (or send a bulletin in BBS speak) SP
2486 is an alias for SEND PRIVATE
2488 The system will ask you for a subject. Conventionally this should be
2489 no longer than 29 characters for compatibility. Most modern cluster
2490 software should accept more.
2492 You will now be prompted to start entering your text.
2494 You finish the message by entering '/EX' on a new line. For instance:
2505 If you have started a message and you don't want to keep it then you
2506 can abandon the message with '/ABORT' on a new line, like:-
2512 oh I just can't be bothered with this
2517 If you abort the message it will NOT be sent.
2519 When you are entering the text of your message, most normal output
2520 (such as DX announcements and so on are suppressed and stored for
2521 latter display (upto 20 such lines are stored, as new ones come along,
2522 so the oldest lines are dropped).
2524 Also, you can enter normal commands commands (and get the output
2525 immediately) whilst in the middle of a message. You do this by typing
2526 the command preceeded by a '/' character on a new line, so:-
2530 /dx g1tlh 144010 strong signal
2534 Will issue a dx annoucement to the rest of the cluster.
2536 Also, you can add the output of a command to your message by
2537 preceeding the command with '//', thus :-
2545 This will show YOU the output from SH/VHFTABLE and also store it in
2548 You can carry on with the message until you are ready to send it.

2700 When you execute this command it will ask you for your old password,
2701 then ask you to type in your new password twice (to make sure you get
2702 it right). You may or may not see the data echoed on the screen as you

2787 Normally, the list returned will be just for the nodes from your
2788 country (because the list otherwise will be very long).
2796 will produce a complete list of all nodes.
2798 BE WARNED: the list that is returned can be VERY long

2845 If no prefixes or callsigns are given then this command returns the
2846 local time and UTC as the computer has it right now. If you give some
2847 prefixes then it will show UTC and UTC + the local offset (not
2848 including DST) at the prefixes or callsigns that you specify.

2866 If you just type SHOW/DX you will get the last so many spots (sysop
2867 configurable, but usually 10).
2869 In addition you can add any number of these commands in very nearly
2870 any order to the basic SHOW/DX command, they are:-
2874 on <band> - eg 160m 20m 2m 23cm 6mm
2875 on <region> - eg hf vhf uhf shf (see SHOW/BANDS)
2876 on <from>/<to> - eg 1000/4000 14000-30000 (in Khz)
2881 <number> - the number of spots you want
2882 <from>-<to> - <from> spot no <to> spot no in the selected list
2887 <prefix> - for a spotted callsign beginning with <prefix>
2888 *<suffix> - for a spotted callsign ending in <suffix>
2889 *<string>* - for a spotted callsign containing <string>
2893 day <number> - starting <number> days ago
2894 day <from>-<to> - <from> days <to> days ago
2899 info <text> - any spots containing <text> in the info or remarks
2903 by <call> - any spots spotted by <call> (spotter <call> is the
2908 qsl - this automatically looks for any qsl info on the call
2909 held in the spot database.
2913 iota [<iota>] - If the iota island number is missing it will look for
2914 the string iota and anything which looks like an iota
2915 island number. If you specify then it will look for
2920 qra [<locator>] - this will look for the specific locator if you specify
2921 one or else anything that looks like a locator.
2925 dxcc - treat the prefix as a 'country' and look for spots
2926 from that country regardless of actual prefix.
2931 You can also use this with the 'by' keyword so
2941 SH/DX on 20m info iota
2942 SH/DX 9a on vhf day 30

2958 callsign if desired), looks up which internal country number it is and
2959 then displays all the spots as per SH/DX for that country.
2961 This is now an alias for 'SHOW/DX DXCC'
2963 The options for SHOW/DX also apply to this command. e.g.
2968 SH/DXCC W on 20m iota
2972 This can be done with the SHOW/DX command like this:-

2986 The node collects information from the comment fields in spots (things
2987 like 'VIA EA7WA' or 'QSL-G1TLH') and stores these in a database.
2989 This command allows you to interrogate that database and if the
2990 callsign is found will display the manager(s) that people have
2991 spotted. This information is NOT reliable, but it is normally
2992 reasonably accurate if it is spotted enough times.
3002 You can check the raw input spots yourself with:-
3010 This gives you more background information.

3111 You can specify either prefixes or full callsigns (so you can see how
3112 you did against all your mates). You can also say 'all' which will
3113 then print the worldwide statistics.

\b] Show Moon rise and set times
3126 Show the Moon rise and set times for a (list of) prefixes or
3127 callsigns, together with the azimuth and elevation of the sun
3128 currently at those locations.
3130 If you don't specify any prefixes or callsigns, it will show the times
3131 for your QTH (assuming you have set it with either SET/LOCATION or
3132 SET/QRA), together with the current azimuth and elevation.
3134 In addition, it will show the illuminated fraction of the moons disk.
3136 If all else fails it will show the Moonrise and set times for the node
3137 that you are connected to.
3147 You can also use this command to see into the past or the future, so
3148 if you want to see yesterday's times then do:-
3156 or in three days time:-
3164 Upto 366 days can be checked both in the past and in the future.
3166 Please note that the rise and set times are given as the UT times of
3167 rise and set on the requested UT day.

\b] Show the likely propagation to a
3175 This command allow you to estimate the likelihood of you contacting a
3176 station with the prefix you have specified. The output assumes a
3177 modest power of 20dBW and receiver sensitivity of -123dBm (about
3180 The result predicts the most likely operating frequencies and signal
3181 levels for high frequency (shortwave) radio propagation paths on
3182 specified days of the year and hours of the day. It is most useful for
3183 paths between 250 km and 6000 km, but can be used with reduced
3184 accuracy for paths shorter or longer than this.
3186 The command uses a routine MINIMUF 3.5 developed by the U.S. Navy and
3187 used to predict the MUF given the predicted flux, day of the year,
3188 hour of the day and geographic coordinates of the transmitter and
3189 receiver. This routine is reasonably accurate for the purposes here,
3190 with a claimed RMS error of 3.8 MHz, but much smaller and less complex
3191 than the programs used by major shortwave broadcasting organizations,
3192 such as the Voice of America.
3194 The command will display some header information detailing its
3195 assumptions, together with the locations, latitude and longitudes and
3196 bearings. It will then show UTC (UT), local time at the other end
3197 (LT), calculate the MUFs, Sun zenith angle at the midpoint of the path
3198 (Zen) and the likely signal strengths. Then for each frequency for
3199 which the system thinks there is a likelihood of a circuit it prints a
3201 The value is currently a likely S meter reading based on the
3202 conventional 6dB / S point scale. If the value has a '+' appended it
3203 means that it is 1/2 an S point stronger. If the value is preceeded by
3204 an 'm' it means that there is likely to be much fading and by an 's'
3205 that the signal is likely to be noisy.
3207 By default SHOW/MUF will show the next two hours worth of data. You
3208 can specify anything up to 24 hours worth of data by appending the no
3209 of hours required after the prefix. For example:-
3221 RxSens: -123 dBM SFI: 159 R: 193 Month: 10 Day: 21
3222 Power : 20 dBW Distance: 6283 km Delay: 22.4 ms
3223 Location Lat / Long Azim
3224 East Dereham, Norfolk 52 41 N 0 57 E 47
3225 United-States-W 43 0 N 87 54 W 299
3226 UT LT MUF Zen 1.8 3.5 7.0 10.1 14.0 18.1 21.0 24.9 28.0 50.0
3227 18 23 11.5 -35 mS0+ mS2 S3
3228 19 0 11.2 -41 mS0+ mS2 S3
3232 indicating that you will have weak, fading circuits on top band and
3233 80m but usable signals on 40m (about S3).
3243 will get you the above display, but with the next 24 hours worth of
3253 Gives you an estimate of the long path propagation characterics. It
3254 should be noted that the figures will probably not be very useful, nor
3255 terrible accurate, but it is included for completeness.

3298 distance and bearing between two locators or (if only one locator is
3299 given on the command line) the distance and beraing from your station
3300 to the locator. For example:-
3309 The first example will show the distance and bearing to the locator
3310 from yourself, the second example will calculate the distance and
3311 bearing from the first locator to the second. You can use 4 or 6
3314 It is also possible to convert a latitude and longitude to a locator
3315 by using this command with a latitude and longitude as an argument,

3578 The system automatically reduces your privilege level to that of a
3579 normal user if you login in remotely. This command allows you to
3580 regain your normal privilege level. It uses the normal system: five
3581 numbers are returned that are indexes into the character array that is
3582 your assigned password (see SET/PASSWORD). The indexes start from
3585 You are expected to return a string which contains the characters
3586 required in the correct order. You may intersperse those characters
3587 with others to obscure your reply for any watchers. For example (and
3588 these values are for explanation :-):
3592 password = 012345678901234567890123456789
3601 aa2bbbb0ccc5ddd7xxx3n
3607 They will all match. If there is no password you will still be offered
3608 numbers but nothing will happen when you input a string. Any match is

\b] Send a text message to another station
3617 Send a short message to any other station that is visible on the
3618 cluster system. You can send it to anyone you can see with a
3619 SHOW/CONFIGURATION command, they don't have to be connected locally.
3621 The second form of TALK is used when other cluster nodes are connected
3622 with restricted information. This usually means that they don't send
3623 the user information usually associated with logging on and off the
3626 If you know that G3JNB is likely to be present on GB7TLH, but you can
3627 only see GB7TLH in the SH/C list but with no users, then you would use
3628 the second form of the talk message.
3630 If you want to have a ragchew with someone you can leave the text
3631 message out and the system will go into 'Talk' mode. What this means
3632 is that a short message is sent to the recipient telling them that you
3633 are in a go to the station that you asked for.
3635 All the usual announcements, spots and so on will still come out on
3637 If you want to do something (such as send a spot) you preceed the
3638 normal command with a '/' character, eg:-
3642 /DX 14001 G1TLH What's a B class licensee doing on 20m CW?
3647 To leave talk mode type:
3655 If you are in 'Talk' mode, there is an extention to the '/' command
3656 which allows you to send the output to all the people you are talking
3657 to. You do with the '//' command. For example:-
3665 will send the hftable as you have it to all the people you are
3666 currently talking to.
