[Dxspider-support] New version of Mojo (dx command fixed)

Thu Jan 30 16:23:16 GMT 2025

Hello dear Dirk.

The new version is working fine (So far at least), on Windows.

DXSpider v1.57 (build 559 git: mojo/396748e9[r]) using perl v5.32.1 on MSWin32

Copyright (c) 1998-2025 Dirk Koopman G1TLH

I'm testing it on my CX2SA-6 test node.

If I have no errors, I'll update CX2SA-8 on the main server tomorrow.

Thank you very much for this update.

Best 73, Jose

Which means that you are probably getting a message like this in the debug:

(DXCommand) G1TLH-2 swore: 7050 g1tlh (with words:G1TLH)
(*) spotter G1TLH/G1TLH
(DXCommand) G1TLH/G1TLH trying to self spot below 1240000KHz (7050 g1tlh) from 82.68.205.1, not passed on to cluster

I treat self spotting as "swearing" so it dumps you off after three (configurable) attempts.

My memory is not what it was, but I am still detecting a silent majority of sysops not liking self-spotting. 

As it's getting near to contest time, I am holding off any more updates that alter the main code so you will have to set $Spot::minselfspotqrg = 0 if that's what you want to allow on your node. This only affects locally connected users, not any incoming spots.

Considering this is where this all started from with the discussion about self spotting, I noticed this.

sh/var $Spot::minselfspotqrg
$Spot::minselfspotqrg = 1240000

Shouldn’t the default be 0 now as per this: https://mailman.tobit.co.uk/pipermail/dxspider-support/2023-March/018036.html ?

I’m not sure it’s quite right.

I sent some test self spots from within a normal telnet session.

So this is G0PKT self spotting and also G6NHU sending spots for G0PKT.

When I do a sh/dx g0pkt, from the telnet session, this is what I see.  The spot isn’t showing.

sh/dx g0pkt
G0PKT de G6NHU-2 30-Jan-2025 1308Z dxspider >
   7074.0 G0PKT       21-Jan-2025 1440Z test                          <G0PKT>

I see the same if I do the same command from a console session.

However, if I do an rcmd to one of my partners, the test spots I made from both G0PKT and from G6NHU show.

rcmd pi4cc sh/dx g0pkt
RCMD 'sh/dx g0pkt' sent to PI4CC

Here’s the same command locally in the console.

sh/dx g0pkt
G6NHU de G6NHU-2 30-Jan-2025 1311Z dxspider >
   7074.0 G0PKT       21-Jan-2025 1440Z test                                              <G0PKT>

It’s as though the spots have been sent but not shown or stored locally.

Can anyone test the same please, post some spots and then see if they are shown on the local node as well as remote ones.

Please update in the normal way. This was an error inside the dx command
caused by me changing a naming convention. As always: more thought (and
better testing) required...

You don't need to restart. The fix will be picked up automatically when
you next enter a dx command.

How do we update the (mn) node command that Kin mentions. My node will not send spots
