[Dxspider-support] Seeing all your spots

Fri Aug 14 19:06:39 CEST 2020

Dirk,

thanks for you feedback. You are the author so I respect your decision. Thanks for the job that you did with adding RBN.

Mike,

I am already using the filters of AR cluster to see what I want to see. As a sysop of DX Spider S50DXS I wanted to have this at my node as well, but I guess that is not going to happen.

The filter that I use with AR cluster is:
set dx filter (band = 160 or band = 80 or band = 40 or band = 20 or band = 15 or band = 10 or band = 6 or band = 4) and ((call = s53m or call = s50c or call = s52zw or call = s53mm or call = s57al or call = s59abc or call = s53zo or call = 9a5y or call = s50w) or (skimmer and not skimdupe and (skimunknown or skimvalid or skimqsy) and (spottercont = eu)) OR (not skimmer and spottercont = eu) or ((skimunknown or skimvalid or skimqsy) and (spotter = s53m-# or spotter = s50c-# or spotter = OE9GHV-#)))

Translated to human language that is:
- see spots for the bands that I have (160m - 4m)
- see all my S53M spots and spots from the competitors and friends that I want to follow during the contest, e.g. to see their band changes 
- see EU skimmer spots with CT1BOH algorithm
- see EU human spots
- see all spots from my skimmer (S53M-#) and two others that I like and trust

What Dirk did with RBN feed is impressive and in a way better that AR cluster offers. Great tool. For my own spots I will find a solution.

But you should be careful a) what you wish for because b) when I last looked I was receiving ~150,000 spots / hour, of which I was getting ~5500 useful spots (~3%). I will put it on the list. If the rate of bustedness is generally as bad as Lee suggests then we will chop that number of useful spots down  even more.
