The proceeding sections have discussed the basics of DXSpider filters. The +following are some examples utilizing basic filters and some not so basic +combination filters.
+ +Lets say you only want to see any of those 6m, 2m, or 220 spots.
++
+
+reject/spot 0 on uhf
+
+As a good stand alone contest filter ...
++
+
+accept/spot on contesthf/<mode> where mode is either CW, SSB, or RTTY
+
+Note: since a slot number is not included slot 1 is assumed.
+ +It's a CW contest weekend so you don't want to see any WARC band or SSB spots.
++
+
+accept/spots 0 on contesthf/cw
+
+It's the same weekend, but you also don't want to see any US or Canadian spots, +or any rtty and data spots that are included in the CW portion of the bands. +Any of the following will accomplish the same result:
++
+
+reject/spot 0 not on contesthf/cw
+reject/spot 1 on contesthf/data
+reject/spot 2 call_dxcc w,ve
+
+or
+
+accept/spot 0 on contesthf/cw and not (call_dxcc 226,197 or on contesthf/data)
+
+or
+
+accept/spot 0 on contesthf/cw and not (call_dxcc w,ve or on contesthf/data)
+
+The following two discussions are from the Administrator Manual and are good +"textbook" examples:
++
+
+rej/spot on hf/cw
+acc/spot on 0/30000
+acc/spot 2 on 50000/1400000 and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
+
+Note that accept and reject can be abbreviated. Also, the first filter has not +been specified with a number. This will automatically be assumed to be number 1. +In this case, we have said to reject all HF spots in the CW section of the bands +but accept all others at HF. Also accept anything in VHF and above that is +spotted in or by operators in the zones 14, 15 and 16. Each filter slot actually +has a 'reject' rule slot and an 'accept' rule slot. The reject rule slot is +executed BEFORE the accept rule slot.
+ +It was mentioned earlier that after a reject test that doesn't match, the +default for following tests is 'accept', the reverse is true for 'accept'. In +the example what happens is that the reject is executed first, any non hf/cw +spot is passed to the accept line, which lets through everything else on HF. +The next filter line lets through just VHF/UHF spots from EU.
+ +If you set a reject filter like this ...
++
+
+reject/spots on hf/cw
+
+Then you will get everything except HF CW spots. You could make this single +filter even more flexible. For example, if you are interested in IOTA and will +work it on CW even though normally you are not interested in CW, then you could +say ...
++
+
+reject/spots on hf/cw and not info iota
+
+But in that case you might only be interested in iota and say,
++
+
+accept/spots not on hf/cw or info iota
+
+which achieves exactly the same thing. Note that since slot numbers were +not used, slot 1 is assumed.
