LogHX: English version

[Josef]

AutoCQ works with FT991, not with FT991 DATA... 73 OK2WO

Does anyone use their rotator at all with this software? I cannot get mine to goto a heading when the callsign is entered. It just goes to North no matter the contact.

I try again to download and install the 778 version. No virus inside: everything is working. No more error in the tcp tansmission.

@M0CGF I'm using PstRotator and it works!

[M0CGF]

Can you share PSTROTATOR settings please.

I found my calibration was wrong, recalibrated and it worked but I want the USB COM connection to PSTrotator then I need a connection via TCP,IP,UDP or which ever works to LogHX. Right now I can work either programme standalone but not both, I like to see the direction of the antenna in pst.

[M0CGF]

Ah I got it working now!!

Alex hi

Maybe it would be interesting for users of your programme to improve the reception of telnet DXCluster spots for interested group of users of POTA and SOTA programme. On the S50CLX DXCluster I have implemented the integration of spots that are not part of the classical telnet DXCluster network. More in my note below. The user of your programme would thus have the possibility to select in the programme the reception of specific spots via a button, with predefined commands to be sent to the S50CLX DXCluster after a successful connection. Sorting, searching by reference ... etc is a matter of implementing of LogHX. The idea for the button is:

1. POTA ONLY spots -> command executed: ACC/SPOTS INFO -POTA-

2. SOTA ONLY spots -> command executed: ACC/SPOTS INFO -SOTA-

3. BOTH POTA&SOTA spots -> command executed: ACC/SPOTS INFO -POTA- OR INFO -SOTA-

4. S50CLX CLUSTER DEFAULT (all spots) -> command executed: CLEAR/SPOTS ALL

A connection via telnet protocol to S50CLX s50clx.infrax.si:41112 which is a completely free service is required to receive POTA/SOTA spots.

Good luck, Dan S50U

POTA and SOTA enthusiasts!

POTA (Parks On The Air) and SOTA (Summits On The Air) are internationally renowned programmes. They encourage licensed radio amateurs to operate outdoors in nature parks or on mountain peaks. Operators making contacts in parks or on summits are called activators, and the other operators who contact them are hunters.

On the S50CLX telnet DXCluster I implemented the collection of spots from POTA and SOTA that are not part of the classical telnet DXCluster network (potaapp and sotawatch). Such spots are tagged with [-POTA-] and [-SOTA-] respectively. In the comment field a spot tagged as such carries:

POTA:
- International POTA reference number, example: SI-0831
- Mode of operation, example: CW
- POTA reference name, example: Preval Vrh Ravni

SOTA:
- International SOTA peak reference number; example: S5/CP-002
- Mode of operation; example: SSB
- SOTA summit name, altitude, points; example: Porezen, 1630m, 8 points

With the right settings, the exact DX spots you want can be received and this is achieved using the filters below. To change an existing filter, simply overwrite it with a new command. Each command (BOLD formatted text) must be entered on a new line, confirm the entry by pressing ENTER.

- for receiving only POTA spots, command: ACC/SPOTS INFO -POTA-

- for receive only SOTA spots, command: ACC/SPOTS INFO -SOTA-

- for receiving POTA and SOTA spots, command: ACC/SPOTS INFO -POTA- OR INFO -SOTA-

The CLEAR/SPOTS ALL command removes all set filters and the S50CLX passes us all SOTA, POTA, DXCluster and optionally RBN (SET/SKIMMER <mode>) spots.

In cases where you do not want to receive POTA and SOTA spots e.g. in a contests, use the command as the first filter before all others REJ/SPOTS 1 INFO -POTA- OR INFO -SOTA-

Spot forwarding is based on the DXSpider DXCluster software validation and normalisation algorithm, rejecting duplicates spots and ensuring quality spots in the face of increasingly frequent malicious attacks on global amateur radio DXCluster network.

The S50CLX DXCluster can be reached via telnet at: s50clx.infrax.si port 41112

Hi, this is a very good idea !
I hope that Alex could work on it.
