accept Set a filter to accept something

Create a filter to accept somethingThere are 2 types of filter, accept and reject. See HELP FILTERING for moreinfo.

10.4 accept/announce <call> [input] [0-9] <pattern> (8) -

- -

accept/announce <call> [input] [0-9] <pattern> Announce filter sysop version

This version allows a sysop to set a filter for a callsign as well as thedefault for nodes and users eg:- -


--  accept/ann by G,M,2  accept/ann input node_default by G,M,2  accept/ann user_default by G,M,2
-
-

10.5 accept/announce [0-9] <pattern> (0) -

- -

accept/announce [0-9] <pattern> Set an 'accept' filter line for announce

Create an 'accept this announce' line for a filter. An accept filter line means that if the announce matches this filter it ispassed onto the user. See HELP FILTERING for more info. Please read thisto understand how filters work - it will save a lot of grief later on.You can use any of the following things in this line:- -


--  info <string>            eg: iota or qsl  by <prefixes>            eg: G,M,2           origin <prefixes>  origin_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>    eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)  origin_itu <prefixes or numbers>     or: G,GM,GW  origin_zone <prefixes or numbers>  origin_state <states>                eg: VA,NH,RI,NH  by_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>  by_itu <prefixes or numbers>  by_zone <prefixes or numbers>  by_state <states>  channel <prefixes>  wx 1                     filter WX announces  dest <prefixes>          eg: 6MUK,WDX      (distros)
-
-

-some examples:- -


--  acc/ann dest 6MUK  acc/ann 2 by_zone 14,15,16  (this could be all on one line: acc/ann dest 6MUK or by_zone 14,15,16)
-
-

-or -


--  acc/ann by G,M,2 
-
-

-for american states -


--  acc/ann by_state va,nh,ri,nh
-
-

-You can use the tag 'all' to accept everything eg: -


--  acc/ann all
-
-

-but this probably for advanced users...

10.6 accept/route <call> [0-9] <pattern> (8) -

- -

accept/route <call> [0-9] <pattern> Set an 'accept' filter line for routing

Create an 'accept this routing PC Protocol' line for a filter. An accept filter line means that if a PC16/17/19/21/24/41/50 matches this filter it is passed thru that interface. See HELP FILTERING for more info. Please read thisto understand how filters work - it will save a lot of grief later on.You can use any of the following things in this line:- -


--  call <prefixes>        the callsign of the thingy  call_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>    eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)  call_itu <prefixes or numbers>     or: G,GM,GW  call_zone <prefixes or numbers>  call_state <states>                eg: VA,NH,RI,NH  origin <prefixes>      really the interface it came in on  origin_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>    eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)  origin_itu <prefixes or numbers>     or: G,GM,GW  origin_zone <prefixes or numbers>  origin_state <states>                eg: VA,NH,RI,NH
-
-

-some examples:- -


--  acc/route gb7djk call_dxcc 61,38 (send only UK+EIRE nodes)  acc/route gb7djk call gb7djk     (equiv to SET/ISOLATE)
-
-

-you can now use 'by' as a synonym for 'call' so: -


--  by = call  by_dxcc = call_dxcc 
-
-

-and so onYou can use the tag 'all' to accept everything eg: -


--  acc/route all

10.8 accept/spots [0-9] <pattern> (0) -

- -

accept/spots [0-9] <pattern> Set an 'accept' filter line for spots

Create an 'accept this spot' line for a filter. An accept filter line means that if the spot matches this filter it ispassed onto the user. See HELP FILTERING for more info. Please read thisto understand how filters work - it will save a lot of grief later on.You can use any of the following things in this line:- -


--  freq <range>           eg: 0/30000 or hf or hf/cw or 6m,4m,2m  on <range>             same as 'freq'  call <prefixes>        eg: G,PA,HB9  info <string>          eg: iota or qsl  by <prefixes>              call_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>    eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)  call_itu <prefixes or numbers>     or: G,GM,GW  call_zone <prefixes or numbers>  call_state <states>                eg: VA,NH,RI,ME  by_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>  by_itu <prefixes or numbers>  by_zone <prefixes or numbers>  by_state <states>                eg: VA,NH,RI,ME  origin <prefixes>  channel <prefixes>
-
-

-'call' means the callsign that has spotted 'by' whoever.For frequencies, you can use any of the band names defined inSHOW/BANDS and you can use a subband name like: cw, rtty, data, ssb -thus: hf/ssb. You can also just have a simple range like: 0/30000 -this is more efficient than saying simply: freq HF (but don't gettoo hung up about that)some examples:- -


--  acc/spot 1 on hf/cw  acc/spot 2 on vhf and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
-
-

-You can use the tag 'all' to accept everything, eg: -


--  acc/spot 3 all

-

-for US states -


--  acc/spots by_state VA,NH,RI,MA,ME

-

10.10 accept/wcy [0-9] <pattern> (0) -

- -

accept/wcy [0-9] <pattern> set an 'accept' WCY filter

It is unlikely that you will want to do this, but if you do then you canfilter on the following fields:- -


--  by <prefixes>            eg: G,M,2           origin <prefixes>  origin_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>    eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)  origin_itu <prefixes or numbers>     or: G,GM,GW  origin_zone <prefixes or numbers>  by_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>  by_itu <prefixes or numbers>  by_zone <prefixes or numbers>  channel <prefixes>
-
-

-There are no examples because WCY Broadcasts only come from one place andyou either want them or not (see UNSET/WCY if you don't want them).This command is really provided for future use.See HELP FILTER for information.

10.11 accept/wwv <call> [input] [0-9] <pattern> (8) -

-
-

-for example -


--  accept/wwv by_zone 4

10.17 blank [<string>] [<nn>] (0) -

- -

blank [<string>] [<nn>] Print nn (default 1) blank lines (or strings)

In its basic form this command prints one or more blank lines. However ifyou pass it a string it will replicate the string for the width of the screen (default 80) and then print that one or more times, so: -


--  blank 2
-
-

-prints two blank lines -


--  blank - 
-
-

-prints a row of - characters once. -


--  blank abc
-
-

-prints 'abcabcabcabcabcabc....'This is really only of any use in a script file and you can print a maximumof 9 lines.

10.18 bye (0) -

bye Exit from the cluster

This will disconnect you from the cluster

10.19 catchup <node call> all|[<msgno> ...] (5) -

- -

10.20 chat <group> <text> (0) -

- -

chat <group> <text> Chat or Conference to a group

It is now possible to JOIN a group and have network wide conferencing to thatgroup. DXSpider does not (and probably will not) implement the AK1A conference mode as this seems very limiting, is hardly used and doesn't seemto work too well anyway.This system uses the existing ANN system and is compatible with both otherDXSpider nodes and AK1A clusters (they use ANN/<group>). You can be a member of as many "groups" as you want. To join a group type:- -


--  JOIN FOC    (where FOC is the group name)
-
-

-To leave a group type:- -


--  LEAVE FOC
-
-

-You can see which groups you are in by typing:- -


--  STAT/USER
-
-

-and you can see whether your mate is in the group, if he connects to thesame node as you, by typing:- -


--  STAT/USER g1tlh
-
-

-To send a message to a group type:- -


--  CHAT FOC hello everyone
-
-

-or -


--  CH #9000 hello I am back
-
-

-See also JOIN, LEAVE, SHOW/CHAT

10.32 dbavail (0) -

- -

dbavail Show a list of all the Databases in the system

Title says it all really, this command lists all the databases definedin the system. It is also aliased to SHOW/COMMAND.

10.33 dbcreate <name> (9) -

- -

dbcreate <name> Create a database entry

- -

10.34 dbcreate <name> chain <name> [<name>..] (9) -

- -

dbcreate <name> chain <name> [<name>..] Create a chained database entry

- -

10.35 dbcreate <name> cmd <dxspider command> (9) -

- -

dbcreate <name> cmd <dxspider command> make a local command available as a DB

DBCREATE allows you to define a database in the system. It doesn't actuallycreate anything, just defines it.The databases that are created are simple DB_File hash databases, they are therefore already 'indexed'.You can define a local database with the first form of the command eg: -


--  DBCREATE oblast
-
-

-You can also chain databases with the addition of the 'chain' keyword. This will search each database one after the other. A typical example is: -


--  DBCREATE sdx_qsl chain sql_ad
-
-

-No checking is done to see if the any of the chained databases exist, infact it is usually better to do the above staement first then do each ofthe chained databases.Databases can exist offsite. To define a database that lives on another node do: -


--  DBCREATE buckmaster remote gb7dxc
-
-

-Remote databases cannot be chained; however, the last database in a a chain can be a remote database eg: -


--  DBCREATE qsl chain gb7dxc
-
-

-To see what databases have been defined do: -


--  DBAVAIL (or it will have been aliased to SHOW/COMMAND)
-
-

-It would be normal for you to add an entry into your local Aliases fileto allow people to use the 'SHOW/<dbname>' style syntax. So you wouldneed to add a line like:- -


--  's' => [    ..    ..    '^sh\w*/buc', 'dbshow buckmaster', 'dbshow',    ..    ..   ],
-
-

-to allow -


--  SH/BUCK g1tlh
-
-

-to work as they may be used to.You can also make local commands available as 'pseudo' databases. Youcan therefore make spider special commands available as a database. Iimagine that this will be primarily useful for remote access from legacy nodes. For example:- -


--  DBCREATE dxqsl cmd show/dxqsl
-
-

-You also use one of these databases in a chain. This may be useful locally. See DBIMPORT for the importing of existing AK1A format data to databases.See DBSHOW for generic database enquiry

10.36 dbcreate <name> remote <node> (9) -

- -

dbcreate <name> remote <node> Create a remote database entry

- -

10.37 dbimport <dbname> <filename> (9) -

- -

dbimport <dbname> <filename> Import AK1A data into a database

If you want to import or update data in bulk to a database you can usethis command. It will either create or update entries into an existingdatabase. For example:- -


--  DBIMPORT oblast /tmp/OBLAST.FUL
-
-

-will import the standard OBLAST database that comes with AK1A into theoblast database held locally.

10.38 dbremove <dbname> (9) -

- -

dbremove <dbname> Delete a database

DBREMOVE will completely remove a database entry and also delete any datafile that is associated with it. There is no warning, no comeback, no safety net. For example: -


--  DBREMOVE oblast 
-
-

-will remove the oblast database from the system and it will also removethe associated datafile.I repeat:There is no warning, no comeback, no safety net.You have been warned.

10.39 dbshow <dbname> <key> (0) -

- -

dbshow <dbname> <key> Display an entry, if it exists, in a database

This is the generic user interface to the database to the database system.It is expected that the sysop will add an entry to the local Aliases fileso that users can use the more familiar AK1A style of enquiry such as: -


--  SH/BUCK G1TLH
-
-

-but if he hasn't and the database really does exist (use DBAVAIL orSHOW/COMMAND to find out) you can do the same thing with: -


--  DBSHOW buck G1TLH
-
-

10.40 debug (9) -

- -

debug Set the cluster program into debug mode

Executing this command will only have an effect if you are running the clusterin debug mode i.e. -


--        perl -d cluster.pl
-
-

-It will interrupt the cluster just after the debug command has finished.

10.41 delete/usdb <callsign> ... (9) -

- -

delete/usdb <callsign> ... Delete this user from the US State Database

This command will completely remove a one or more callsignsfrom the US States database.There is NO SECOND CHANCE.It goes without saying that you should use this command CAREFULLY!Note that these callsign may be re-instated by any weekly updates from the FCC.

10.42 delete/user <callsign> ... (9) -

- -

delete/user <callsign> ... Delete this user from the User Database

This command will completely remove a one or more users from the database.There is NO SECOND CHANCE.It goes without saying that you should use this command CAREFULLY!

10.43 demonstrate <call> <command> (9) -

- -

demonstrate <call> <command> Demonstrate a command to another user

This command is provided so that sysops can demonstrate commands to other users. It runs a command as though that user had typed it in andthen sends the output to that user, together with the command that caused it. -


--  DEMO g7brn sh/dx iota oc209  DEMO g1tlh set/here
-
-

-Note that this command is similar to SPOOF and will have the same sideeffects. Commands are run at the privilege of the user which is beingdemonstrated to.

10.44 directory (0) -

- -

directory List messages

- -

10.45 directory <from>-<to> (0) -

- -

directory <from>-<to> List messages <from> message <to> message

List the messages in the messages directory.If there is a 'p' one space after the message number then it is a personal message. If there is a '-' between the message number and the'p' then this indicates that the message has been read.You can use shell escape characters such as '*' and '?' in the <call>fields.You can combine some of the various directory commands together eg:- -


--   DIR TO G1TLH 5
-
-

-or -


--   DIR SUBJECT IOTA 200-250
-
-

-You can abbreviate all the commands to one letter and use ak1a syntax:- -


--   DIR/T G1* 10   DIR/S QSL 10-100 5
-
-

10.46 directory <nn> (0) -

10.54 disconnect <call> [<call> ...] (8) -

- -

disconnect <call> [<call> ...] Disconnect a user or cluster

Disconnect any <call> connected locally

10.55 dx [by <call>] <freq> <call> <remarks> (0) -

- -

dx [by <call>] <freq> <call> <remarks> Send a DX spot

This is how you send a DX Spot to other users. You can, in fact, nowenter the <freq> and the <call> either way round. -


--   DX FR0G 144.600   DX 144.600 FR0G   DX 144600 FR0G 
-
-

-will all give the same result. You can add some remarks to the endof the command and they will be added to the spot. -


--   DX FR0G 144600 this is a test
-
-

-You can credit someone else by saying:- -


--   DX by G1TLH FR0G 144.600 he isn't on the cluster
-
-

-The <freq> is compared against the available bands set up in the cluster. See SHOW/BANDS for more information.

10.56 echo <line> (0) -

- -

echo <line> Echo the line to the output

This command is useful in scripts and so forth for printing theline that you give to the command to the output. You can use thisin user_default scripts and the SAVE command for titling and so forthThe script will interpret certain standard "escape" sequences as follows:- -


--  \t - becomes a TAB character (0x09 in ascii)  \a - becomes a BEEP character (0x07 in ascii)  \n - prints a new line
-
-

-So the following example:- -


--  echo GB7DJK is a dxcluster
-
-

-produces:- -


--  GB7DJK is a dxcluster
-
-

-on the output. You don't need a \n on the end of the line you want to send.A more complex example:- -


--  echo GB7DJK\n\tg1tlh\tDirk\n\tg3xvf\tRichard
-
-

-produces:- -


--  GB7DJK          g1tlh   Dirk          g3xvf   Richard
-
-

-on the output.

10.57 export <msgno> <filename> (9) -

- -

export <msgno> <filename> Export a message to a file

Export a message to a file. This command can only be executed on a localconsole with a fully privileged user. The file produced will be in a formready to be imported back into the cluster by placing it in the import directory (/spider/msg/import).This command cannot overwrite an existing file. This is to provide some measure of security. Any files written will owned by the same user as the main cluster, otherwise you can put the new files anywhere the cluster canaccess. For example:- -


--  EXPORT 2345 /tmp/a
-
-

10.58 export_users [<filename>] (9) -

export_users [<filename>] Export the users database to ascii

Export the users database to a file in ascii format. If no filenameis given then it will export the file to /spider/data/user_asc.If the file already exists it will be renamed to <filename>.o. In factup to 5 generations of the file can be kept each one with an extra 'o' on thesuffix. BE WARNED: this will write to any file you have write access to. No check ismade on the filename (if any) that you specify.

filtering... Filtering things in DXSpider

There are a number of things you can filter in the DXSpider system. Theyall use the same general mechanism.In general terms you can create a 'reject' or an 'accept' filter whichcan have up to 10 lines in it. You do this using, for example:- -


--  accept/spots .....  reject/spots .....
-
-

-where ..... are the specific commands for that type of filter. Thereare filters for spots, wwv, announce, wcy and (for sysops)connects. See each different accept or reject command reference formore details.There is also a command to clear out one or more lines in a filter andone to show you what you have set. They are:- -


--  clear/spots 1  clear/spots all
-
-

-and -


--  show/filter
-
-

-There is clear/xxxx command for each type of filter.For now we are going to use spots for the examples, but you can applythe principles to all types of filter.There are two main types of filter 'accept' or 'reject'; which you usedepends entirely on how you look at the world and what is leastwriting to achieve what you want. Each filter has 10 lines (of anylength) which are tried in order. If a line matches then the actionyou have specified is taken (ie reject means ignore it and acceptmeans gimme it).The important thing to remember is that if you specify a 'reject'filter (all the lines in it say 'reject/spots' (for instance)) then ifa spot comes in that doesn't match any of the lines then you will getit BUT if you specify an 'accept' filter then any spots that don'tmatch are dumped. For example if I have a one line accept filter:- -


--  accept/spots on vhf and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
-
-

-then automatically you will ONLY get VHF spots from or to CQ zones 1415 and 16. If you set a reject filter like: -


--  reject/spots on hf/cw
-
-

-Then you will get everything EXCEPT HF CW spots, If you am interested in IOTAand will work it even on 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 is exactly the same. You should choose one or the other untilyou are confortable with the way it works. Yes, you can mix them(actually you can have an accept AND a reject on the same line) butdon't try this at home until you can analyse the results that you getwithout ringing up the sysop for help.Another useful addition now is filtering by US state -


--  accept/spots by_state VA,NH,RI,ME
-
-

-You can arrange your filter lines into logical units, either for yourown understanding or simply convenience. I have one set frequently:- -


--  reject/spots 1 on hf/cw  reject/spots 2 on 50000/1400000 not (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)  
-
-

-What this does is to ignore all HF CW spots (being a class B I can'tread any CW and couldn't possibly be interested in HF :-) and alsorejects any spots on VHF which don't either originate or spot someonein Europe.This is an exmaple where you would use the line number (1 and 2 inthis case), if you leave the digit out, the system assumes '1'. Digits'0'-'9' are available.You can leave the word 'and' out if you want, it is implied. You canuse any number of brackets to make the 'expression' as you wantit. There are things called precedence rules working here which meanthat you will NEED brackets in a situation like line 2 because,without it, will assume:- -


--  (on 50000/1400000 and by_zone 14,15,16) or call_zone 14,15,16 
-
-

-annoying, but that is the way it is. If you use OR - usebrackets. Whilst we are here CASE is not important. 'And BY_Zone' isjust 'and by_zone'.If you want to alter your filter you can just redefine one or morelines of it or clear out one line. For example:- -


--  reject/spots 1 on hf/ssb
-
-

-or -


--  clear/spots 1
-
-

-To remove the filter in its entirty:- -


--  clear/spots all
-
-

-There are similar CLEAR commands for the other filters:- -


--  clear/announce  clear/wcy  clear/wwv
-
-

-ADVANCED USERS:-Once you are happy with the results you get, you may like to experiment. my example that filters hf/cw spots and accepts vhf/uhf spots from EUcan be written with a mixed filter, eg: -


--  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)
-
-

-each filter slot actually has a 'reject' slot and an 'accept'slot. The reject slot is executed BEFORE the accept 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 executedfirst, any non hf/cw spot is passed to the accept line, which letsthru everything else on HF.The next filter line lets through just VHF/UHF spots from EU.

10.60 forward/latlong <node_call> (8) -

- -

forward/latlong <node_call> Send latitude and longitude information to another cluster

This command sends all the latitude and longitude information that yourcluster is holding against callsigns. One advantage of recieving thisinformation is that more locator information is held by you. Thismeans that more locators are given on the DX line assuming you haveSET/DXGRID enabled. This could be a LOT of information though, soit is not recommended on slow links.

10.61 forward/opernam <call> (1) -

- -

forward/opernam <call> Send out information on this <call> to all clusters

This command sends out any information held in the user file which can be broadcast in PC41 protocol packets. This information is Name, QTH, Locationand Homenode. PC41s are only sent for the information that is available.

10.62 help (0) -

- -

help The HELP Command

HELP is available for a number of commands. The syntax is:- -


--  HELP <cmd>
-
-

-Where <cmd> is the name of the command you want help on.All commands can be abbreviated, so SHOW/DX can be abbreviatedto SH/DX, ANNOUNCE can be shortened to AN and so on.Look at the APROPOS <string> command which will search the help databasefor the <string> you specify and give you a list of likely commandsto look at with HELP.

10.63 init <node> (5) -

- -

init <node> Re-initialise a link to an AK1A compatible node

This command attempts to re-initialise a link to a (usually) AK1A nodethat has got confused, usually by a protocol loop of some kind. It maywork - but you usually will be better off simply disconnecting it (orbetter, if it is a real AK1A node, doing an RCMD <node> DISC/F <yournode>).Best of luck - you will need it.

-- /spider/perl/convkeps.pl <filename>
-
-

-on a file containing NASA 2 line keps as a message issued by AMSAT. If there is a message number, then it will take the message, runconvkeps.pl on it and then load the data, all in one step.These messages are sent to ALL by GB7DJK (and others) from time to time.

10.87 load/messages (9) -

- -

load/messages Reload the system messages file

If you change the /spider/perl/Messages file (usually whilstfiddling/writing new commands) you can have them take effect during acluster session by executing this command. You need to do this if getsomething like :-unknown message 'xxxx' in lang 'en'

10.88 load/prefixes (9) -

-
-

-You can look at the status of a message by using:- -


--  STAT/MSG <msgno>      
-
-

-This will display more information on the message than DIR does.

10.91 pc <call> <text> (8) -

- -

pc <call> <text> Send arbitrary text to a connected callsign

Send some arbitrary text to a locally connected callsign. Noprocessing is done on the text. This command allows you to send PCProtocol to unstick things if problems arise (messages get stucketc). eg:- -


--   pc gb7djk PC33^GB7TLH^GB7DJK^400^
-
-

-or -


--   pc G1TLH Try doing that properly!!!
-
-

-Send any text you like to the callsign requested. This is used mainly to sendPC protocol to connected nodes either for testing or to unstick things. You can also use in the same way as a talk command to a connected user butwithout any processing, added of "from <blah> to <blah" or whatever.

10.92 ping <node call> (1) -

- -

ping <node call> Check the link quality between nodes

This command allows you to send a frame to another cluster node onthe network and get a return frame. The time it takes to do thisis a good indication of the quality of the link. The actual timeit takes is output to the console in seconds.Any visible cluster node can be PINGed.

10.93 rcmd <node call> <cmd> (1) -

- -

rcmd <node call> <cmd> Send a command to another DX Cluster

This command allows you to send nearly any command to another DX Clusternode that is connected to the system. Whether you get any output is dependant on a) whether the other system knowsthat the node callsign of this cluster is in fact a node b) whether theother system is allowing RCMDs from this node and c) whether you havepermission to send this command at all.

Create a filter to reject somethingThere are 2 types of filter, accept and reject. See HELP FILTERING for moreinfo.

10.98 reject/announce <call> [input] [0-9] <pattern> (8) -

- -

reject/announce <call> [input] [0-9] <pattern> Announce filter sysop version

This version allows a sysop to set a filter for a callsign as well as thedefault for nodes and users eg:- -


--  reject/ann by G,M,2  reject/ann input node_default by G,M,2  reject/ann user_default by G,M,2
-
-

10.99 reject/announce [0-9] <pattern> (0) -

- -

reject/announce [0-9] <pattern> Set a 'reject' filter line for announce

Create an 'reject this announce' line for a filter. A reject filter line means that if the announce matches this filter it ispassed onto the user. See HELP FILTERING for more info. Please read thisto understand how filters work - it will save a lot of grief later on.You can use any of the following things in this line:- -


--  info <string>            eg: iota or qsl  by <prefixes>            eg: G,M,2           origin <prefixes>  origin_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>    eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)  origin_itu <prefixes or numbers>     or: G,GM,GW  origin_zone <prefixes or numbers>  origin_state <states>                eg: VA,NH,RI,ME  by_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>  by_itu <prefixes or numbers>  by_zone <prefixes or numbers>  by_state <states>                eg: VA,NH,RI,ME  channel <prefixes>  wx 1                     filter WX announces  dest <prefixes>          eg: 6MUK,WDX      (distros)
-
-

-some examples:- -


--  rej/ann by_zone 14,15,16 and not by G,M,2
-
-

-You can use the tag 'all' to reject everything eg: -


--  rej/ann all
-
-

-but this probably for advanced users...

10.100 reject/route <call> [0-9] <pattern> (8) -

- -

reject/route <call> [0-9] <pattern> Set an 'reject' filter line for routing

Create an 'reject this routing PC Protocol' line for a filter. An reject filter line means that if a PC16/17/19/21/24/41/50 matches this filter it is NOT passed thru that interface. See HELP FILTERING for more info. Please read this to understand how filters work - it will save a lot of grief later on.You can use any of the following things in this line:- -


--  call <prefixes>        the callsign of the thingy  call_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>    eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)  call_itu <prefixes or numbers>     or: G,GM,GW  call_zone <prefixes or numbers>  call_state <states>                eg: VA,NH,RI,ME  origin <prefixes>      really the interface it came in on  origin_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>    eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)  origin_itu <prefixes or numbers>     or: G,GM,GW  origin_zone <prefixes or numbers>  origin_state <states>                eg: VA,NH,RI,ME
-
-

-some examples:- -


--  rej/route gb7djk call_dxcc 61,38 (everything except  UK+EIRE nodes)
-
-

-You can use the tag 'all' to reject everything eg: -


--  rej/route all     (equiv to [very] restricted mode)
-
-

-as with ACCEPT/ROUTE 'by' is now a synonym for 'call'.

10.101 reject/spots <call> [input] [0-9] <pattern> (8) -

- -

reject/spots <call> [input] [0-9] <pattern> Spot filter sysop version

This version allows a sysop to set a filter for a callsign as well as thedefault for nodes and users eg:- -

10.102 reject/spots [0-9] <pattern> (0) -

- -

reject/spots [0-9] <pattern> Set a 'reject' filter line for spots

Create a 'reject this spot' line for a filter. A reject filter line means that if the spot matches this filter it isdumped (not passed on). See HELP FILTERING for more info. Please read thisto understand how filters work - it will save a lot of grief later on.You can use any of the following things in this line:- -


--  freq <range>           eg: 0/30000 or hf or hf/cw or 6m,4m,2m  on <range>             same as 'freq'  call <prefixes>        eg: G,PA,HB9  info <string>          eg: iota or qsl  by <prefixes>              call_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>    eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)  call_itu <prefixes or numbers>     or: G,GM,GW  call_zone <prefixes or numbers>  call_state <states>                eg: VA,NH,RI,ME  by_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>  by_itu <prefixes or numbers>  by_zone <prefixes or numbers>  by_state <states>                eg: VA,NH,RI,ME  origin <prefixes>  channel <prefixes>
-
-

-'call' means the callsign that has spotted 'by' whoever.For frequencies, you can use any of the band names defined inSHOW/BANDS and you can use a subband name like: cw, rtty, data, ssb -thus: hf/ssb. You can also just have a simple range like: 0/30000 -this is more efficient than saying simply: on HF (but don't gettoo hung up about that)some examples:- -


--  rej/spot 1 on hf  rej/spot 2 on vhf and not (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
-
-

-You can use the tag 'all' to reject everything eg: -


--  rej/spot 3 all

- -

reject/wwv [0-9] <pattern> set a 'reject' WWV filter

It is unlikely that you will want to do this, but if you do then you canfilter on the following fields:- -

save [-d -t -a] <filename> "<cmd>" [...] Save command output to a file

This sysop only cammand allows you to save the output of one or morecommands to a file. For example:- -


--  save /spider/packclus/dxstats show/dxstat
-
-

-will save the output of the normal command "show/dxstat" to the file"dxstats" in the files area.You can have some extra flags to the save which will either date stamp or time stamp or both the filename so:- -


--  save -d /tmp/a <cmd> creates /tmp/a_6-Jan-2002  save -t /tmp/a <cmd> creates /tmp/a_2301Z  save -d -t /tmp/a <cmd> creates /tmp/a_6-Jan-2002_2301Z
-
-

-The -a flag means append to the file instead of overwriting it.You can have more than one command on the line, to do this you MUSTenclose each command in double quotes (") eg:- -


--  save /tmp/a "sh/hfstats" "blank +" "sh/vhfstats"
-
-

-or -


--  save /tmp/a "sh/hfstats","blank +","sh/vhfstats"
-
-

-You can only write into places that the cluster has permission for (whichis that of the "sysop" user [which had BETTER NOT BE "root"]), you will need to create any directories you want to put stuff in beforehand as well.It is likely that you will want to run these commands in a crontab type situation. You would do that something like:- -


--  0 0 * * * run_cmd('save /tmp/dxstats "echo DXStat Table", "sh/dxstats"')
-
-

-Note that you still enclose each command with (") characters but you mustenclose the entire save command in (') characters. Now in fact, this can be varied if you know what you are doing. See theadmin manual for more details.

- -

send copy <msgno> <call> Send a copy of a message to someone

- -

10.115 send noprivate <call> (0) -

- -

send noprivate <call> Send a message to all stations

All the SEND commands will create a message which will be sent either toan individual callsign or to one of the 'bulletin' addresses. SEND <call> on its own acts as though you had typed SEND PRIVATE, that isit will mark the message as personal and send it to the cluster node thatthat callsign is connected to. If the <call> you have specified is in facta known bulletin category on your node (eg: ALL) then the message shouldautomatically become a bulletin.You can have more than one callsign in all of the SEND commands.You can have multiple qualifiers so that you can have for example:- -


--  SEND RR COPY 123 PRIVATE G1TLH G0RDI
-
-

-which should send a copy of message 123 to G1TLH and G0RDI and you willreceive a read receipt when they have read the message.SB is an alias for SEND NOPRIVATE (or send a bulletin in BBS speak)SP is an alias for SEND PRIVATEThe system will ask you for a subject. Conventionally this should be no longer than 29 characters for compatibility. Most modern clustersoftware should accept more.You will now be prompted to start entering your text. You finish the message by entering '/EX' on a new line. For instance: -


--  ...  bye then Jim  73 Dirk  /ex
-
-

-If you have started a message and you don't want to keep it then youcan abandon the message with '/ABORT' on a new line, like:- -


--  line 1  line 2  oh I just can't be bothered with this  /abort
-
-

-If you abort the message it will NOT be sent.When you are entering the text of your message, most normal output (suchas DX announcements and so on are suppressed and stored for latter display(upto 20 such lines are stored, as new ones come along, so the oldestlines are dropped).Also, you can enter normal commands commands (and get the output immediately) whilst in the middle of a message. You do this by typingthe command preceeded by a '/' character on a new line, so:- -


--  /dx g1tlh 144010 strong signal
-
-

-Will issue a dx annoucement to the rest of the cluster. Also, you can add the output of a command to your message by preceeding the command with '//', thus :- -


--  //sh/vhftable
-
-

-This will show YOU the output from SH/VHFTABLE and also store it in themessage. You can carry on with the message until you are ready to send it.

10.147 set/obscount <count> <call> (8) -

- -

set/obscount <count> <call> Set the 'pump-up' obscelence PING counter

From 1.35 onwards neighbouring nodes are pinged at regular intervals (seeSET/PINGINTERVAL), usually 300 seconds or 5 minutes. There is a 'pump-up'counter which is decremented on every outgoing ping and then reset tothe 'obscount' value on every incoming ping. The default value of thisparameter is 2. What this means is that a neighbouring node will be pinged twice at (default) 300 second intervals and if no reply has been heard just beforewhat would be the third attempt, that node is disconnected.If a ping is heard then the obscount is reset to the full value. Usingdefault values, if a node has not responded to a ping within 15 minutes,it is disconnected.You can set this parameter between 1 and 9.It is STRONGLY recommended that you don't change the default.

10.148 set/page <lines per page> (0) -

- -

set/page <lines per page> Set the lines per page

-
-

-The setting is stored in your user profile.

10.149 set/password (0) -

- -

set/password Set your own password

This command only works for a 'telnet' user (currently). It willonly work if you have a password already set. This initial passwordcan only be set by the sysop.When you execute this command it will ask you for your old password,then ask you to type in your new password twice (to make sure youget it right). You may or may not see the data echoed on the screenas you type, depending on the type of telnet client you have.

10.150 set/password <callsign> <string> (9) -

- -

set/password <callsign> <string> Set a users password

The password for a user can only be set by a full sysop. The stringcan contain any characters. The way this field is used depends on context. If it is being used inthe SYSOP command context then you are offered 5 random numbers and youhave to supply the corresponding letters. This is now mainly for ax25connections.If it is being used on incoming telnet connections then, if a passwordis set or the: -


--  set/var $main::passwdreq = 1
-
-

-command is executed in the startup script, then a password prompt isgiven after the normal 'login: ' prompt.

10.151 set/pinginterval <time> <nodecall> (9) -

- -

set/pinginterval <time> <nodecall> Set ping time to neighbouring nodes

As from release 1.35 all neighbouring nodes are pinged at regular intervalsin order to determine the rolling quality of the link and, in future, toaffect routing decisions. The default interval is 300 secs or 5 minutes.You can use this command to set a different interval. Please don't. But if you do the value you enter is treated as minutes up 30 and secondsfor numbers greater than that.This is used also to help determine when a link is down at the far end(as certain cluster software doesn't always notice), see SET/OBSCOUNTfor more information.If you must change it (and it may be useful for internet connected nodeson dynamic IP addresses that go away after a set time of usage) the timecan be specified as:- -


--  5      which if less than 30 is converted to minutes otherwise is          taken as the no of seconds between pings.   120s   120 seconds  5m     5 minutes  1h     1 hour
-
-

-Please be aware that this causes traffic to occur on the link, setting this value too low may annoy your neighbours beyond the point of endurance!You can switch this off by setting it to 0.

10.152 set/privilege <n> <call> [<call..] (9) -

- -

set/privilege <n> <call> [<call..] Set privilege level on a call

Set the privilege level on a callsign. The privilege levels that pertainto commands are as default:- -


--  0 - normal user  1 - allow remote nodes normal user RCMDs  5 - various privileged commands (including shutdown, but not disc-      connect), the normal level for another node.  8 - more privileged commands (including disconnect)  9 - local sysop privilege. DO NOT SET ANY REMOTE USER OR NODE TO THIS      LEVEL.
-
-

-If you are a sysop and you come in as a normal user on a remote connectionyour privilege will automatically be set to 0.

10.153 set/prompt <string> (0) -

- -

set/prompt <string> Set your prompt to <string>

- -

10.154 set/qra <locator> (0) -

-
-


-- <prefix>        - for a spotted callsign beginning with <prefix> *<suffix>       - for a spotted callsign ending in <suffix> *<string>*      - for a spotted callsign containing <string>
-
-

-
-


-- qra [<locator>] - this will look for the specific locator if you specify                   one or else anything that looks like a locator.
-
-


-- dxcc            - treat the prefix as a 'country' and look for spots                   from that country regardless of actual prefix.                   eg dxcc oq2 
-
-


--                   You can also use this with the 'by' keyword so                    eg by W dxcc  
-
-


-- e.g. 
-
-


--   SH/DX 9m0   SH/DX on 20m info iota   SH/DX 9a on vhf day 30   SH/DX rf1p qsl   SH/DX iota    SH/DX iota eu-064   SH/DX qra jn86   SH/DX dxcc oq2   SH/DX dxcc oq2 by w dxcc
-
-

10.179 show/dxcc <prefix> (0) -

- -

show/dxcc <prefix> Interrogate the spot database by country

This command takes the <prefix> (which can be a full or partial callsign if desired), looks up which internal country number it isand then displays all the spots as per SH/DX for that country.This is now an alias for 'SHOW/DX DXCC' The options for SHOW/DX also apply to this command. e.g. -


--   SH/DXCC G   SH/DXCC W on 20m iota
-
-

-This can be done with the SHOW/DX command like this:- -


--   SH/DX dxcc g   SH/DX dxcc w on 20m iota
-
-

10.180 show/dxqsl <callsign> (0) -

- -

show/dxqsl <callsign> Show any QSL info gathered from spots

The node collects information from the comment fields in spots (thingslike 'VIA EA7WA' or 'QSL-G1TLH') and stores these in a database.This command allows you to interrogate that database and if the callsignis found will display the manager(s) that people have spotted. This information is NOT reliable, but it is normally reasonably accurate ifit is spotted enough times.For example:- -


--  sh/dxqsl 4k9w
-
-

-You can check the raw input spots yourself with:- -


--  sh/dx 4k9w qsl
-
-

-This gives you more background information.

SHOW/FILES on its own will show you a list of the various fileareasavailable on the system. To see the contents of a particular filearea type:- -


--   SH/FILES <filearea>
-
-

-where <filearea> is the name of the filearea you want to see the contents of.You can also use shell globbing characters like '*' and '?' in astring to see a selection of files in a filearea eg:- -


--   SH/FILES bulletins arld*
-
-

-See also TYPE - to see the contents of a file.

10.183 show/filter (0) -

- -

10.185 show/hftable [days] [date] [prefix ...] (0) -

- -

show/hftable [days] [date] [prefix ...] Show the HF DX Spotter Table

Show the HF DX Spotter table for the list of prefixes for the last <days> no of days (default is 31), starting from a <date> (default: today).If there are no prefixes then it will show the table for your country.Remember that some countries have more than one "DXCC country" in them(eg G :-), to show them (assuming you are not in G already which isspecially treated in the code) you must list all the relevant prefixes -


--  sh/hftable g gm gd gi gj gw gu 
-
-

-Note that the prefixes are converted into country codes so you don't haveto list all possible prefixes for each country.If you want more or less days than the default simply include thenumber you require:- -


--  sh/hftable 20 pa
-
-

-If you want to start at a different day, simply add the date in some recognizable form:- -


--  sh/hftable 2 25nov02  sh/hftable 2 25-nov-02   sh/hftable 2 021125   sh/hftable 2 25/11/02
-
-

-This will show the stats for your DXCC for that CQWW contest weekend. You can specify either prefixes or full callsigns (so you can see how youdid against all your mates). You can also say 'all' which will then printthe worldwide statistics. -

10.191 show/muf <prefix> [<hours>][long] (0) -

- -

show/muf <prefix> [<hours>][long] Show the likely propagation to a prefix

This command allow you to estimate the likelihood of you contactinga station with the prefix you have specified. The output assumes a modestpower of 20dBW and receiver sensitivity of -123dBm (about 0.15muV/10dB SINAD)The result predicts the most likely operating frequencies and signallevels for high frequency (shortwave) radio propagation paths onspecified days of the year and hours of the day. It is most useful forpaths between 250 km and 6000 km, but can be used with reduced accuracyfor paths shorter or longer than this.The command uses a routine MINIMUF 3.5 developed by the U.S. Navy andused to predict the MUF given the predicted flux, day of the year,hour of the day and geographic coordinates of the transmitter andreceiver. This routine is reasonably accurate for the purposes here,with a claimed RMS error of 3.8 MHz, but much smaller and less complexthan the programs used by major shortwave broadcasting organizations,such as the Voice of America.The command will display some header information detailing itsassumptions, together with the locations, latitude and longitudes andbearings. It will then show UTC (UT), local time at the other end(LT), calculate the MUFs, Sun zenith angle at the midpoint of the path(Zen) and the likely signal strengths. Then for each frequency for whichthe system thinks there is a likelihood of a circuit it prints a value.The value is currently a likely S meter reading based on the conventional6dB / S point scale. If the value has a '+' appended it means that it is1/2 an S point stronger. If the value is preceeded by an 'm' it means thatthere is likely to be much fading and by an 's' that the signal is likelyto be noisy. By default SHOW/MUF will show the next two hours worth of data. Youcan specify anything up to 24 hours worth of data by appending the no ofhours required after the prefix. For example:- -


--  SH/MUF W
-
-

-produces: -


--  RxSens: -123 dBM SFI: 159   R: 193   Month: 10   Day: 21  Power :   20 dBW    Distance:  6283 km    Delay: 22.4 ms  Location                       Lat / Long           Azim  East Dereham, Norfolk          52 41 N 0 57 E         47  United-States-W                43 0 N 87 54 W        299  UT LT  MUF Zen  1.8  3.5  7.0 10.1 14.0 18.1 21.0 24.9 28.0 50.0  18 23 11.5 -35  mS0+ mS2   S3  19  0 11.2 -41  mS0+ mS2   S3
-
-

-indicating that you will have weak, fading circuits on top band and 80m but usable signals on 40m (about S3).inputing:- -


--  SH/MUF W 24
-
-

-will get you the above display, but with the next 24 hours worth ofpropagation data. -


--  SH/MUF W L 24  SH/MUF W 24 Long
-
-

sysop Regain your privileges if you login remotely

The system automatically reduces your privilege level to that of anormal user if you login in remotely. This command allows you toregain your normal privilege level. It uses the normal system: fivenumbers are returned that are indexes into the character array that isyour assigned password (see SET/PASSWORD). The indexes start fromzero.You are expected to return a string which contains the charactersrequired in the correct order. You may intersperse those characterswith others to obscure your reply for any watchers. For example (andthese values are for explanation :-): -


--  password = 012345678901234567890123456789  > sysop  22 10 15 17 3
-
-

-you type:- -


-- aa2bbbb0ccc5ddd7xxx3n or 2 0 5 7 3 or 20573
-

-They will all match. If there is no password you will still be offerednumbers but nothing will happen when you input a string. Any match iscase sensitive.

10.227 talk <call> > <node> [<text>] (0) -

- -

talk <call> > <node> [<text>] Send a text message to another station via a node

Send a short message to any other station that is visible on the clustersystem. You can send it to anyone you can see with a SHOW/CONFIGURATION command, they don't have to be connected locally.The second form of TALK is used when other cluster nodes are connectedwith restricted information. This usually means that they don't send the user information usually associated with logging on and off the cluster.If you know that G3JNB is likely to be present on GB7TLH, but you can onlysee GB7TLH in the SH/C list but with no users, then you would use thesecond form of the talk message.If you want to have a ragchew with someone you can leave the text messageout and the system will go into 'Talk' mode. What this means is that ashort message is sent to the recipient telling them that you are in a'Talking' frame of mind and then you just type - everything you send willgo to the station that you asked for. All the usual announcements, spots and so on will still come out on yourterminal.If you want to do something (such as send a spot) you preceed the normal command with a '/' character, eg:- -


--   /DX 14001 G1TLH What's a B class licensee doing on 20m CW?   /HELP talk
-
-

-To leave talk mode type: -


--   /EX
-
-

-If you are in 'Talk' mode, there is an extention to the '/' command whichallows you to send the output to all the people you are talking to. You do with the '//' command. For example:- -


--  //sh/hftable
-
-

-will send the hftable as you have it to all the people you are currently talking to.

You can use this command to 'protect' this session from unauthoriseduse. If you want to get your normal privilege back you will need toeither logout and login again (if you are on a console) or use theSYSOP command.

10.252 unset/prompt (0) -

- -

unset/prompt Set your prompt back to default

This command will set your user prompt to exactly the string that you say. The point of this command to enable a user to interface to programsthat are looking for a specific prompt (or else you just want a differentfixed prompt). -


--  SET/PROMPT clx >
-
-

-UNSET/PROMPT will undo the SET/PROMPT command and set you prompt back tonormal.

10.253 unset/register <call> ... (9) -

- -

unset/register <call> ... Mark a user as not registered

Registration is a concept that you can switch on by executing the -


--  set/var $main::regreq = 1 
-
-

-command (usually in your startup file)If a user is NOT registered then, firstly, instead of the normalmotd file (/spider/data/motd) being sent to the user at startup, theuser is sent the motd_nor file instead. Secondly, the non registereduser only has READ-ONLY access to the node. The non-registered usercannot use DX, ANN etc. The only exception to this is that a non-registered user can TALK orSEND messages to the sysop.

10.254 unset/talk (0) -

- -

unset/talk Stop TALK messages coming out on your terminal

- -

10.255 unset/usstate (0) -

- -

unset/usstate Stop US State info on the end of DX announcements

If the spotter's or spotted's US State is known it is output on the end of a DX announcement (there is just enough room). A spotter's state will appear on the RHS of the time (like SET/DXGRID) and the spotted's State will appear on the LHS of thetime field. Any information found will override any locator information from SET/DXGRID.Some user programs cannot cope with this. You can use this command to reset (or set) this feature.Conflicts with: SET/DXCQ, SET/DXITUDo a STAT/USER to see which flags you have set if you are confused.

11.1 accept -

- -

accept Set a filter to accept something

- -

Create a filter to accept something

There are 2 types of filter, accept and reject. See HELP FILTERING for more -info.

11.2 accept/announce [0-9] <pattern> -

- -

accept/announce [0-9] <pattern> Set an 'accept' filter line for announce

- -

Create an 'accept this announce' line for a filter.

An accept filter line means that if the announce matches this filter it is -passed onto the user. See HELP FILTERING for more info. Please read this -to understand how filters work - it will save a lot of grief later on.

You can use any of the following things in this line:-


--  info <string>            eg: iota or qsl
-  by <prefixes>            eg: G,M,2         
-  origin <prefixes>
-  origin_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>    eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)
-  origin_itu <prefixes or numbers>     or: G,GM,GW
-  origin_zone <prefixes or numbers>
-  origin_state <states>                eg: VA,NH,RI,NH
-  by_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>
-  by_itu <prefixes or numbers>
-  by_zone <prefixes or numbers>
-  by_state <states>
-  channel <prefixes>
-  wx 1                     filter WX announces
-  dest <prefixes>          eg: 6MUK,WDX      (distros)
-
-

some examples:-


--  acc/ann dest 6MUK
-  acc/ann 2 by_zone 14,15,16
-  (this could be all on one line: acc/ann dest 6MUK or by_zone 14,15,16)
-
-

- -or -


--  acc/ann by G,M,2 
-
-

for american states


--  acc/ann by_state va,nh,ri,nh
-
-

You can use the tag 'all' to accept everything eg:


--  acc/ann all
-
-

but this probably for advanced users...

11.3 accept/spots [0-9] <pattern> -

- -

accept/spots [0-9] <pattern> Set an 'accept' filter line for spots

- -

Create an 'accept this spot' line for a filter.

An accept filter line means that if the spot matches this filter it is -passed onto the user. See HELP FILTERING for more info. Please read this -to understand how filters work - it will save a lot of grief later on.

You can use any of the following things in this line:-


--  freq <range>           eg: 0/30000 or hf or hf/cw or 6m,4m,2m
-  on <range>             same as 'freq'
-  call <prefixes>        eg: G,PA,HB9
-  info <string>          eg: iota or qsl
-  by <prefixes>            
-  call_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>    eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)
-  call_itu <prefixes or numbers>     or: G,GM,GW
-  call_zone <prefixes or numbers>
-  call_state <states>                eg: VA,NH,RI,ME
-  by_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>
-  by_itu <prefixes or numbers>
-  by_zone <prefixes or numbers>
-  by_state <states>                eg: VA,NH,RI,ME
-  origin <prefixes>
-  channel <prefixes>
-
-

'call' means the callsign that has spotted 'by' whoever.

For frequencies, you can use any of the band names defined in -SHOW/BANDS and you can use a subband name like: cw, rtty, data, ssb - -thus: hf/ssb. You can also just have a simple range like: 0/30000 - -this is more efficient than saying simply: freq HF (but don't get -too hung up about that)

some examples:-


--  acc/spot 1 on hf/cw
-  acc/spot 2 on vhf and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
-
-

You can use the tag 'all' to accept everything, eg:


--  acc/spot 3 all
-
-

for US states


--  acc/spots by_state VA,NH,RI,MA,ME
-
-

but this probably for advanced users...

11.4 accept/wcy [0-9] <pattern> -

- -

accept/wcy [0-9] <pattern> set an 'accept' WCY filter

- -

It is unlikely that you will want to do this, but if you do then you can -filter on the following fields:-


--  by <prefixes>            eg: G,M,2         
-  origin <prefixes>
-  origin_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>    eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)
-  origin_itu <prefixes or numbers>     or: G,GM,GW
-  origin_zone <prefixes or numbers>
-  by_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>
-  by_itu <prefixes or numbers>
-  by_zone <prefixes or numbers>
-  channel <prefixes>
-
-

There are no examples because WCY Broadcasts only come from one place and -you either want them or not (see UNSET/WCY if you don't want them).

This command is really provided for future use.

See HELP FILTER for information.

11.5 accept/wwv [0-9] <pattern> -

- -

accept/wwv [0-9] <pattern> set an 'accept' WWV filter

- -

It is unlikely that you will want to do this, but if you do then you can -filter on the following fields:-


--  by <prefixes>            eg: G,M,2         
-  origin <prefixes>
-  origin_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>    eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)
-  origin_itu <prefixes or numbers>     or: G,GM,GW
-  origin_zone <prefixes or numbers>
-  by_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>
-  by_itu <prefixes or numbers>
-  by_zone <prefixes or numbers>
-  channel <prefixes>
-
-

for example


--  accept/wwv by_zone 4
-
-

is probably the only useful thing to do (which will only show WWV broadcasts -by stations in the US).

See HELP FILTER for information.

11.6 announce <text> -

- -

announce <text> Send an announcement to LOCAL users only

- -

<text> is the text of the announcement you wish to broadcast

11.7 announce full <text> -

- -

announce full <text> Send an announcement cluster wide

- -

This will send your announcement cluster wide

11.8 apropos <string> -

- -

apropos <string> Search help database for <string>

- -

Search the help database for <string> (it isn't case sensitive), and print -the names of all the commands that may be relevant.

11.9 blank [<string>] [<nn>] -

- -

blank [<string>] [<nn>] Print nn (default 1) blank lines (or strings)

- -

In its basic form this command prints one or more blank lines. However if -you pass it a string it will replicate the string for the width of the -screen (default 80) and then print that one or more times, so:


--  blank 2
-
-

prints two blank lines


--  blank - 
-
-

prints a row of - characters once.


--  blank abc
-
-

prints 'abcabcabcabcabcabc....'

This is really only of any use in a script file and you can print a maximum -of 9 lines.

11.10 bye -

- -

bye Exit from the cluster

- -

This will disconnect you from the cluster

11.11 chat <group> <text> -

- -

chat <group> <text> Chat or Conference to a group

- -

It is now possible to JOIN a group and have network wide conferencing to that -group. DXSpider does not (and probably will not) implement the AK1A -conference mode as this seems very limiting, is hardly used and doesn't seem -to work too well anyway.

This system uses the existing ANN system and is compatible with both other -DXSpider nodes and AK1A clusters (they use ANN/<group>).

You can be a member of as many "groups" as you want. To join a group type:-


--  JOIN FOC    (where FOC is the group name)
-
-

To leave a group type:-


--  LEAVE FOC
-
-

You can see which groups you are in by typing:-


--  STAT/USER
-
-

and you can see whether your mate is in the group, if he connects to the -same node as you, by typing:-


--  STAT/USER g1tlh
-
-

To send a message to a group type:-


--  CHAT FOC hello everyone
-
-


--  CH #9000 hello I am back
-
-

11.12 clear/announce [1|all] -

- -

clear/announce [1|all] Clear a announce filter line

- -

This command allows you to clear (remove) a line in a annouce filter or to -remove the whole filter.

see CLEAR/SPOTS for a more detailed explanation.

11.13 clear/route [1|all] -

- -

clear/route [1|all] Clear a route filter line

- -

This command allows you to clear (remove) a line in a route filter or to -remove the whole filter.

see CLEAR/SPOTS for a more detailed explanation.

11.14 clear/spots [0-9|all] -

- -

clear/spots [0-9|all] Clear a spot filter line

- -

This command allows you to clear (remove) a line in a spot filter or to -remove the whole filter.

If you have a filter:-


--  acc/spot 1 on hf/cw
-  acc/spot 2 on vhf and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
-
-

and you say:-


--  clear/spot 1
-
-

you will be left with:-


--  acc/spot 2 on vhf and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
-
-

If you do:


--  clear/spot all
-
-

the filter will be completely removed.

11.15 clear/wcy [1|all] -

- -

clear/wcy [1|all] Clear a WCY filter line

- -

This command allows you to clear (remove) a line in a WCY filter or to -remove the whole filter.

see CLEAR/SPOTS for a more detailed explanation.

11.16 clear/wwv [1|all] -

- -

clear/wwv [1|all] Clear a WWV filter line

- -

This command allows you to clear (remove) a line in a WWV filter or to -remove the whole filter.

see CLEAR/SPOTS for a more detailed explanation.

11.17 dbavail -

- -

dbavail Show a list of all the Databases in the system

- -

Title says it all really, this command lists all the databases defined -in the system. It is also aliased to SHOW/COMMAND.

11.18 dbshow <dbname> <key> -

- -

dbshow <dbname> <key> Display an entry, if it exists, in a database

- -

This is the generic user interface to the database to the database system. -It is expected that the sysop will add an entry to the local Aliases file -so that users can use the more familiar AK1A style of enquiry such as:


--  SH/BUCK G1TLH
-
-

but if he hasn't and the database really does exist (use DBAVAIL or -SHOW/COMMAND to find out) you can do the same thing with:


--  DBSHOW buck G1TLH
-
-

- -

11.19 directory -

- -

directory List messages

- - -

11.20 directory <from>-<to> -

- -

directory <from>-<to> List messages <from> message <to> message

- -

List the messages in the messages directory.

If there is a 'p' one space after the message number then it is a -personal message. If there is a '-' between the message number and the -'p' then this indicates that the message has been read.

You can use shell escape characters such as '*' and '?' in the <call> -fields.

You can combine some of the various directory commands together eg:-


--   DIR TO G1TLH 5
-
-

- -or -


--   DIR SUBJECT IOTA 200-250
-
-

You can abbreviate all the commands to one letter and use ak1a syntax:-


--   DIR/T G1* 10
-   DIR/S QSL 10-100 5
-
-

- -

11.21 directory <nn> -

- -

directory <nn> List last <nn> messages

- - -

11.22 directory all -

- -

directory all List all messages

- - -

11.23 directory from <call> -

- -

directory from <call> List all messages from <call>

- - -

11.24 directory new -

- -

directory new List all new messages

- - -

11.25 directory own -

- -

directory own List your own messages

- - -

11.26 directory subject <string> -

- -

directory subject <string> List all messages with <string> in subject

- - -

11.27 directory to <call> -

- -

directory to <call> List all messages to <call>

- - -

11.28 dx [by <call>] <freq> <call> <remarks> -

- -

dx [by <call>] <freq> <call> <remarks> Send a DX spot

- -

This is how you send a DX Spot to other users. You can, in fact, now -enter the <freq> and the <call> either way round.


--   DX FR0G 144.600
-   DX 144.600 FR0G
-   DX 144600 FR0G 
-
-

will all give the same result. You can add some remarks to the end -of the command and they will be added to the spot.


--   DX FR0G 144600 this is a test
-
-

You can credit someone else by saying:-


--   DX by G1TLH FR0G 144.600 he isn't on the cluster
-
-

The <freq> is compared against the available bands set up in the -cluster. See SHOW/BANDS for more information.

11.29 echo <line> -

- -

echo <line> Echo the line to the output

- -

This command is useful in scripts and so forth for printing the -line that you give to the command to the output. You can use this -in user_default scripts and the SAVE command for titling and so forth

The script will interpret certain standard "escape" sequences as follows:-


--  \t - becomes a TAB character (0x09 in ascii)
-  \a - becomes a BEEP character (0x07 in ascii)
-  \n - prints a new line
-
-

So the following example:-


--  echo GB7DJK is a dxcluster
-
-

produces:-


--  GB7DJK is a dxcluster
-
-

on the output. You don't need a \n on the end of the line you want to send.

A more complex example:-


--  echo GB7DJK\n\tg1tlh\tDirk\n\tg3xvf\tRichard
-
-

produces:-


--  GB7DJK
-          g1tlh   Dirk
-          g3xvf   Richard
-
-

on the output.

- -

11.30 filtering... -

- -

filtering... Filtering things in DXSpider

- -

There are a number of things you can filter in the DXSpider system. They -all use the same general mechanism.

In general terms you can create a 'reject' or an 'accept' filter which -can have up to 10 lines in it. You do this using, for example:-


--  accept/spots .....
-  reject/spots .....
-
-

where ..... are the specific commands for that type of filter. There -are filters for spots, wwv, announce, wcy and (for sysops) -connects. See each different accept or reject command reference for -more details.

There is also a command to clear out one or more lines in a filter and -one to show you what you have set. They are:-


--  clear/spots 1
-  clear/spots all
-
-

and


--  show/filter
-
-

There is clear/xxxx command for each type of filter.

For now we are going to use spots for the examples, but you can apply -the principles to all types of filter.

There are two main types of filter 'accept' or 'reject'; which you use -depends entirely on how you look at the world and what is least -writing to achieve what you want. Each filter has 10 lines (of any -length) which are tried in order. If a line matches then the action -you have specified is taken (ie reject means ignore it and accept -means gimme it).

The important thing to remember is that if you specify a 'reject' -filter (all the lines in it say 'reject/spots' (for instance)) then if -a spot comes in that doesn't match any of the lines then you will get -it BUT if you specify an 'accept' filter then any spots that don't -match are dumped. For example if I have a one line accept filter:-


--  accept/spots on vhf and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
-
-

then automatically you will ONLY get VHF spots from or to CQ zones 14 -15 and 16. If you set a reject filter like:


--  reject/spots on hf/cw
-
-

Then you will get everything EXCEPT HF CW spots, If you am interested in IOTA -and will work it even on 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 is exactly the same. You should choose one or the other until -you are confortable with the way it works. Yes, you can mix them -(actually you can have an accept AND a reject on the same line) but -don't try this at home until you can analyse the results that you get -without ringing up the sysop for help.

Another useful addition now is filtering by US state


--  accept/spots by_state VA,NH,RI,ME
-
-

You can arrange your filter lines into logical units, either for your -own understanding or simply convenience. I have one set frequently:-


--  reject/spots 1 on hf/cw
-  reject/spots 2 on 50000/1400000 not (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)  
-
-

What this does is to ignore all HF CW spots (being a class B I can't -read any CW and couldn't possibly be interested in HF :-) and also -rejects any spots on VHF which don't either originate or spot someone -in Europe.

This is an exmaple where you would use the line number (1 and 2 in -this case), if you leave the digit out, the system assumes '1'. Digits -'0'-'9' are available.

You can leave the word 'and' out if you want, it is implied. You can -use any number of brackets to make the 'expression' as you want -it. There are things called precedence rules working here which mean -that you will NEED brackets in a situation like line 2 because, -without it, will assume:-


--  (on 50000/1400000 and by_zone 14,15,16) or call_zone 14,15,16 
-
-

annoying, but that is the way it is. If you use OR - use -brackets. Whilst we are here CASE is not important. 'And BY_Zone' is -just 'and by_zone'.

If you want to alter your filter you can just redefine one or more -lines of it or clear out one line. For example:-


--  reject/spots 1 on hf/ssb
-
-


--  clear/spots 1
-
-

To remove the filter in its entirty:-


--  clear/spots all
-
-

There are similar CLEAR commands for the other filters:-


--  clear/announce
-  clear/wcy
-  clear/wwv
-
-

ADVANCED USERS:-

Once you are happy with the results you get, you may like to experiment.

my example that filters hf/cw spots and accepts vhf/uhf spots from EU -can be written with a mixed filter, eg:


--  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)
-
-

each filter slot actually has a 'reject' slot and an 'accept' -slot. The reject slot is executed BEFORE the accept 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 -thru everything else on HF.

The next filter line lets through just VHF/UHF spots from EU.

11.31 help -

- -

help The HELP Command

- -

HELP is available for a number of commands. The syntax is:-


--  HELP <cmd>
-
-

Where <cmd> is the name of the command you want help on.

All commands can be abbreviated, so SHOW/DX can be abbreviated -to SH/DX, ANNOUNCE can be shortened to AN and so on.

Look at the APROPOS <string> command which will search the help database -for the <string> you specify and give you a list of likely commands -to look at with HELP.

11.32 join <group> -

- -

join <group> Join a chat or conference group

- -

JOIN allows you to join a network wide conference group. To join a -group (called FOC in this case) type:-


--  JOIN FOC
-
-

11.33 kill <from msgno>-<to msgno> -

- -

kill <from msgno>-<to msgno> Delete a range of messages

- - -

11.35 kill <msgno> [<msgno> ...] -

- -

kill <msgno> [<msgno> ...] Remove or erase a message from the system

- -

You can get rid of any message to or originating from your callsign using -this command. You can remove more than one message at a time.

11.41 read <msgno> -

- -

read <msgno> Read the specified message

- -

You can read any messages that are sent as 'non-personal' and also any -message either sent by or sent to your callsign.

11.42 reject -

- -

reject Set a filter to reject something

- -

Create a filter to reject something

There are 2 types of filter, accept and reject. See HELP FILTERING for more -info.

11.43 reject/announce [0-9] <pattern> -

- -

reject/announce [0-9] <pattern> Set a 'reject' filter line for announce

- -

Create an 'reject this announce' line for a filter.

A reject filter line means that if the announce matches this filter it is -passed onto the user. See HELP FILTERING for more info. Please read this -to understand how filters work - it will save a lot of grief later on.

You can use any of the following things in this line:-


--  info <string>            eg: iota or qsl
-  by <prefixes>            eg: G,M,2         
-  origin <prefixes>
-  origin_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>    eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)
-  origin_itu <prefixes or numbers>     or: G,GM,GW
-  origin_zone <prefixes or numbers>
-  origin_state <states>                eg: VA,NH,RI,ME
-  by_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>
-  by_itu <prefixes or numbers>
-  by_zone <prefixes or numbers>
-  by_state <states>                eg: VA,NH,RI,ME
-  channel <prefixes>
-  wx 1                     filter WX announces
-  dest <prefixes>          eg: 6MUK,WDX      (distros)
-
-

some examples:-


--  rej/ann by_zone 14,15,16 and not by G,M,2
-
-

You can use the tag 'all' to reject everything eg:


--  rej/ann all
-
-

but this probably for advanced users...

11.44 reject/spots [0-9] <pattern> -

- -

reject/spots [0-9] <pattern> Set a 'reject' filter line for spots

- -

Create a 'reject this spot' line for a filter.

A reject filter line means that if the spot matches this filter it is -dumped (not passed on). See HELP FILTERING for more info. Please read this -to understand how filters work - it will save a lot of grief later on.

You can use any of the following things in this line:-


--  freq <range>           eg: 0/30000 or hf or hf/cw or 6m,4m,2m
-  on <range>             same as 'freq'
-  call <prefixes>        eg: G,PA,HB9
-  info <string>          eg: iota or qsl
-  by <prefixes>            
-  call_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>    eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)
-  call_itu <prefixes or numbers>     or: G,GM,GW
-  call_zone <prefixes or numbers>
-  call_state <states>                eg: VA,NH,RI,ME
-  by_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>
-  by_itu <prefixes or numbers>
-  by_zone <prefixes or numbers>
-  by_state <states>                eg: VA,NH,RI,ME
-  origin <prefixes>
-  channel <prefixes>
-
-

'call' means the callsign that has spotted 'by' whoever.

some examples:-


--  rej/spot 1 on hf
-  rej/spot 2 on vhf and not (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
-
-

You can use the tag 'all' to reject everything eg:


--  rej/spot 3 all
-
-

but this probably for advanced users...

11.45 reject/wcy [0-9] <pattern> -

- -

reject/wcy [0-9] <pattern> set a 'reject' WCY filter

- -

It is unlikely that you will want to do this, but if you do then you can -filter on the following fields:-


--  by <prefixes>            eg: G,M,2         
-  origin <prefixes>
-  origin_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>    eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)
-  origin_itu <prefixes or numbers>     or: G,GM,GW
-  origin_zone <prefixes or numbers>
-  by_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>
-  by_itu <prefixes or numbers>
-  by_zone <prefixes or numbers>
-  channel <prefixes>
-
-

There are no examples because WCY Broadcasts only come from one place and -you either want them or not (see UNSET/WCY if you don't want them).

This command is really provided for future use.

See HELP FILTER for information.

11.46 reject/wwv [0-9] <pattern> -

- -

reject/wwv [0-9] <pattern> set a 'reject' WWV filter

- -

It is unlikely that you will want to do this, but if you do then you can -filter on the following fields:-


--  by <prefixes>            eg: G,M,2         
-  origin <prefixes>
-  origin_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>    eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)
-  origin_itu <prefixes or numbers>     or: G,GM,GW
-  origin_zone <prefixes or numbers>
-  by_dxcc <prefixes or numbers>
-  by_itu <prefixes or numbers>
-  by_zone <prefixes or numbers>
-  channel <prefixes>
-
-

for example


--  reject/wwv by_zone 14,15,16
-
-

is probably the only useful thing to do (which will only show WWV broadcasts -by stations in the US).

See HELP FILTER for information.

11.47 reply -

- -

reply Reply (privately) to the last message that you have read

- - -

11.48 reply <msgno> -

- -

reply <msgno> Reply (privately) to the specified message

- - -

11.49 reply b <msgno> -

- -

reply b <msgno> Reply as a Bulletin to the specified message

- - -

11.50 reply noprivate <msgno> -

- -

reply noprivate <msgno> Reply as a Bulletin to the specified message

- - -

11.51 reply rr <msgno> -

- -

reply rr <msgno> Reply to the specified message with read receipt

- -

You can reply to a message and the subject will automatically have -"Re:" inserted in front of it, if it isn't already present.

You can also use all the extra qualifiers such as RR, PRIVATE, -NOPRIVATE, B that you can use with the SEND command (see SEND -for further details)

11.52 send <call> [<call> ...] -

- -

send <call> [<call> ...] Send a message to one or more callsigns

- - -

11.53 send copy <msgno> <call> -

- -

send copy <msgno> <call> Send a copy of a message to someone

- - -

11.54 send noprivate <call> -

- -

send noprivate <call> Send a message to all stations

- -

All the SEND commands will create a message which will be sent either to -an individual callsign or to one of the 'bulletin' addresses.

SEND <call> on its own acts as though you had typed SEND PRIVATE, that is -it will mark the message as personal and send it to the cluster node that -that callsign is connected to. If the <call> you have specified is in fact -a known bulletin category on your node (eg: ALL) then the message should -automatically become a bulletin.

You can have more than one callsign in all of the SEND commands.

You can have multiple qualifiers so that you can have for example:-


--  SEND RR COPY 123 PRIVATE G1TLH G0RDI
-
-

which should send a copy of message 123 to G1TLH and G0RDI and you will -receive a read receipt when they have read the message.

SB is an alias for SEND NOPRIVATE (or send a bulletin in BBS speak) -SP is an alias for SEND PRIVATE

The system will ask you for a subject. Conventionally this should be -no longer than 29 characters for compatibility. Most modern cluster -software should accept more.

You will now be prompted to start entering your text.

You finish the message by entering '/EX' on a new line. For instance:


--  ...
-  bye then Jim
-  73 Dirk
-  /ex
-
-

If you have started a message and you don't want to keep it then you -can abandon the message with '/ABORT' on a new line, like:-


--  line 1
-  line 2
-  oh I just can't be bothered with this
-  /abort
-
-

If you abort the message it will NOT be sent.

When you are entering the text of your message, most normal output (such -as DX announcements and so on are suppressed and stored for latter display -(upto 20 such lines are stored, as new ones come along, so the oldest -lines are dropped).

Also, you can enter normal commands commands (and get the output -immediately) whilst in the middle of a message. You do this by typing -the command preceeded by a '/' character on a new line, so:-


--  /dx g1tlh 144010 strong signal
-
-

Will issue a dx annoucement to the rest of the cluster.

Also, you can add the output of a command to your message by preceeding -the command with '//', thus :-


--  //sh/vhftable
-
-

This will show YOU the output from SH/VHFTABLE and also store it in the -message.

You can carry on with the message until you are ready to send it.

11.84 show/configuration [<node>] -

- -

show/configuration [<node>] Show all the nodes and users visible

- -

This command allows you to see all the users that can be seen -and the nodes to which they are connected.

This command is normally abbreviated to: sh/c

Normally, the list returned will be just for the nodes from your -country (because the list otherwise will be very long).


--  SH/C ALL 
-
-

will produce a complete list of all nodes.

BE WARNED: the list that is returned can be VERY long

It is possible to supply a node or part of a prefix and you will get -a list of the users for that node or list of nodes starting with -that prefix.


--  SH/C GB7DJK

- -

This is very nearly the same as SHOW/TIME, the only difference the format -of the date string if no arguments are given.

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

11.88 show/db0sdx <callsign> -

- -

show/db0sdx <callsign> Show QSL infomation from DB0SDX database

11.89 show/dx -

- -

show/dx Interrogate the spot database

- -

If you just type SHOW/DX you will get the last so many spots -(sysop configurable, but usually 10).

In addition you can add any number of these commands in very nearly -any order to the basic SHOW/DX command, they are:-


-- on <band>       - eg 160m 20m 2m 23cm 6mm
- on <region>     - eg hf vhf uhf shf      (see SHOW/BANDS)
- on <from>/<to>  - eg 1000/4000 14000-30000  (in Khz)
-    <from>-<to>
-
-


-- <number>        - the number of spots you want
- <from>-<to>     - <from> spot no <to> spot no in the selected list
- <from>/<to>
-
-


-- <prefix>        - for a spotted callsign beginning with <prefix>
- *<suffix>       - for a spotted callsign ending in <suffix>
- *<string>*      - for a spotted callsign containing <string>
-
-


-- day <number>    - starting <number> days ago
- day <from>-<to> - <from> days <to> days ago
-     <from>/<to>   
-
-


-- info <text>     - any spots containing <text> in the info or remarks
-
-


-- by <call>       - any spots spotted by <call> (spotter <call> is the 
-                   same).
-
-


-- qsl             - this automatically looks for any qsl info on the call
-                   held in the spot database.
-
-


-- iota [<iota>]   - If the iota island number is missing it will look for
-                  the string iota and anything which looks like an iota
-                  island number. If you specify then it will look for  
-                  that island.
-
-


-- qra [<locator>] - this will look for the specific locator if you specify
-                   one or else anything that looks like a locator.
-
-


-- dxcc            - treat the prefix as a 'country' and look for spots
-                   from that country regardless of actual prefix.
-                   eg dxcc oq2 
-
-


--                   You can also use this with the 'by' keyword so 
-                   eg by W dxcc  
-
-


-- e.g. 
-
-


--   SH/DX 9m0
-   SH/DX on 20m info iota
-   SH/DX 9a on vhf day 30
-   SH/DX rf1p qsl
-   SH/DX iota 
-   SH/DX iota eu-064
-   SH/DX qra jn86
-   SH/DX dxcc oq2
-   SH/DX dxcc oq2 by w dxcc
-
-

- -

11.90 show/dxcc <prefix> -

- -

show/dxcc <prefix> Interrogate the spot database by country

- -

This command takes the <prefix> (which can be a full or partial -callsign if desired), looks up which internal country number it is -and then displays all the spots as per SH/DX for that country.

This is now an alias for 'SHOW/DX DXCC'

The options for SHOW/DX also apply to this command. -e.g.


--   SH/DXCC G
-   SH/DXCC W on 20m iota
-
-

This can be done with the SHOW/DX command like this:-


--   SH/DX dxcc g
-   SH/DX dxcc w on 20m iota
-
-

- -

11.91 show/dxqsl <callsign> -

- -

show/dxqsl <callsign> Show any QSL info gathered from spots

- -

The node collects information from the comment fields in spots (things -like 'VIA EA7WA' or 'QSL-G1TLH') and stores these in a database.

This command allows you to interrogate that database and if the callsign -is found will display the manager(s) that people have spotted. This -information is NOT reliable, but it is normally reasonably accurate if -it is spotted enough times.

For example:-


--  sh/dxqsl 4k9w
-
-

You can check the raw input spots yourself with:-


--  sh/dx 4k9w qsl
-
-

This gives you more background information.

11.92 show/dxstats [days] [date] -

- -

show/dxstats [days] [date] Show the DX Statistics

- -

Show the total DX spots for the last <days> no of days (default is 31), -starting from a <date> (default: today).

11.93 show/files [<filearea> [<string>]] -

- -

show/files [<filearea> [<string>]] List the contents of a filearea

- -

SHOW/FILES on its own will show you a list of the various fileareas -available on the system. To see the contents of a particular file -area type:- -


--   SH/FILES <filearea>
-
-

- -where <filearea> is the name of the filearea you want to see the -contents of.

You can also use shell globbing characters like '*' and '?' in a -string to see a selection of files in a filearea eg:- -


--   SH/FILES bulletins arld*
-
-

See also TYPE - to see the contents of a file.

11.94 show/filter -

- -

show/filter Show the contents of all the filters you have set

- -

Show the contents of all the filters that are set. This command displays -all the filters set - for all the various categories.

11.95 show/hfstats [days] [date] -

- -

show/hfstats [days] [date] Show the HF DX Statistics

- -

Show the HF DX spots breakdown by band for the last <days> no of days -(default is 31), starting from a <date> (default: today).

11.96 show/hftable [days] [date] [prefix ...] -

- -

show/hftable [days] [date] [prefix ...] Show the HF DX Spotter Table

- -

Show the HF DX Spotter table for the list of prefixes for the last -<days> no of days (default is 31), starting from a <date> (default: today).

If there are no prefixes then it will show the table for your country.

Remember that some countries have more than one "DXCC country" in them -(eg G :-), to show them (assuming you are not in G already which is -specially treated in the code) you must list all the relevant prefixes


--  sh/hftable g gm gd gi gj gw gu 
-
-

Note that the prefixes are converted into country codes so you don't have -to list all possible prefixes for each country.

If you want more or less days than the default simply include the -number you require:-


--  sh/hftable 20 pa
-
-

If you want to start at a different day, simply add the date in some -recognizable form:-


--  sh/hftable 2 25nov02
-  sh/hftable 2 25-nov-02 
-  sh/hftable 2 021125 
-  sh/hftable 2 25/11/02
-
-

This will show the stats for your DXCC for that CQWW contest weekend.

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


--  sh/hftable all 
-
-

- -

11.97 show/moon [ndays] [<prefix>|<callsign>] -

- -

show/moon [ndays] [<prefix>|<callsign>] Show Moon rise and set times

- -

Show the Moon rise and set times for a (list of) prefixes or callsigns, -together with the azimuth and elevation of the sun currently at those -locations.

If you don't specify any prefixes or callsigns, it will show the times for -your QTH (assuming you have set it with either SET/LOCATION or SET/QRA), -together with the current azimuth and elevation.

In addition, it will show the illuminated fraction of the moons disk.

If all else fails it will show the Moonrise and set times for the node -that you are connected to.

For example:-


--  SH/MOON
-  SH/MOON G1TLH W5UN
-
-

You can also use this command to see into the past or the future, so -if you want to see yesterday's times then do:-


--  SH/MOON -1 
-
-

or in three days time:-


--  SH/MOON +3 W9
-
-

Upto 366 days can be checked both in the past and in the future.

Please note that the rise and set times are given as the UT times of rise and -set on the requested UT day.

11.98 show/muf <prefix> [<hours>][long] -

- -

show/muf <prefix> [<hours>][long] Show the likely propagation to a prefix

- -

This command allow you to estimate the likelihood of you contacting -a station with the prefix you have specified. The output assumes a modest -power of 20dBW and receiver sensitivity of -123dBm (about 0.15muV/10dB SINAD)

The result predicts the most likely operating frequencies and signal -levels for high frequency (shortwave) radio propagation paths on -specified days of the year and hours of the day. It is most useful for -paths between 250 km and 6000 km, but can be used with reduced accuracy -for paths shorter or longer than this.

The command uses a routine MINIMUF 3.5 developed by the U.S. Navy and -used to predict the MUF given the predicted flux, day of the year, -hour of the day and geographic coordinates of the transmitter and -receiver. This routine is reasonably accurate for the purposes here, -with a claimed RMS error of 3.8 MHz, but much smaller and less complex -than the programs used by major shortwave broadcasting organizations, -such as the Voice of America.

The command will display some header information detailing its -assumptions, together with the locations, latitude and longitudes and -bearings. It will then show UTC (UT), local time at the other end -(LT), calculate the MUFs, Sun zenith angle at the midpoint of the path -(Zen) and the likely signal strengths. Then for each frequency for which -the system thinks there is a likelihood of a circuit it prints a value.

The value is currently a likely S meter reading based on the conventional -6dB / S point scale. If the value has a '+' appended it means that it is -1/2 an S point stronger. If the value is preceeded by an 'm' it means that -there is likely to be much fading and by an 's' that the signal is likely -to be noisy.

By default SHOW/MUF will show the next two hours worth of data. You -can specify anything up to 24 hours worth of data by appending the no of -hours required after the prefix. For example:-


--  SH/MUF W
-
-

produces:


--  RxSens: -123 dBM SFI: 159   R: 193   Month: 10   Day: 21
-  Power :   20 dBW    Distance:  6283 km    Delay: 22.4 ms
-  Location                       Lat / Long           Azim
-  East Dereham, Norfolk          52 41 N 0 57 E         47
-  United-States-W                43 0 N 87 54 W        299
-  UT LT  MUF Zen  1.8  3.5  7.0 10.1 14.0 18.1 21.0 24.9 28.0 50.0
-  18 23 11.5 -35  mS0+ mS2   S3
-  19  0 11.2 -41  mS0+ mS2   S3
-
-

indicating that you will have weak, fading circuits on top band and -80m but usable signals on 40m (about S3).

inputing:-


--  SH/MUF W 24
-
-

will get you the above display, but with the next 24 hours worth of -propagation data.


--  SH/MUF W L 24
-  SH/MUF W 24 Long
-
-

Gives you an estimate of the long path propagation characterics. It -should be noted that the figures will probably not be very useful, nor -terrible accurate, but it is included for completeness.

11.99 show/newconfiguration [<node>] -

- -

show/newconfiguration [<node>] Show all the nodes and users visible

- -

This command allows you to see all the users that can be seen -and the nodes to which they are connected.

This command produces essentially the same information as -SHOW/CONFIGURATION except that it shows all the duplication of -any routes that might be present It also uses a different format -which may not take up quite as much space if you don't have any -loops.

BE WARNED: the list that is returned can be VERY long

11.100 show/newconfiguration/node -

- -

show/newconfiguration/node Show all the nodes connected locally

- -

Show all the nodes connected to this node in the new format.

11.101 show/prefix <callsign> -

- -

show/prefix <callsign> Interrogate the prefix database

- -

This command takes the <callsign> (which can be a full or partial -callsign or a prefix), looks up which internal country number -it is and then displays all the relevant prefixes for that country -together with the internal country no, the CQ and ITU regions.

11.102 show/qra <lat> <long> -

- -

show/qra <lat> <long> Convert lat/long to a QRA Grid locator

- -

This is a multipurpose command that allows you either to calculate the -distance and bearing between two locators or (if only one locator is -given on the command line) the distance and beraing from your station -to the locator. For example:-


-- SH/QRA IO92QL 
- SH/QRA JN06 IN73
-
-

The first example will show the distance and bearing to the locator from -yourself, the second example will calculate the distance and bearing from -the first locator to the second. You can use 4 or 6 character locators.

It is also possible to convert a latitude and longitude to a locator by -using this command with a latitude and longitude as an argument, for -example:-


-- SH/QRA 52 41 N 0 58 E
-
-

- -

11.103 show/qra <locator> [<locator>] -

- -

show/qra <locator> [<locator>] Show distance between QRA Grid locators

11.105 show/route <callsign> ... -

- -

show/route <callsign> ... Show the route to the callsign

- -

This command allows you to see to which node the callsigns specified are -connected. It is a sort of inverse sh/config.


-- sh/route n2tly
-
-

- -

11.106 show/satellite <name> [<hours> <interval>] -

- -

show/satellite <name> [<hours> <interval>] Show tracking data

- -

Show the tracking data from your location to the satellite of your choice -from now on for the next few hours.

If you use this command without a satellite name it will display a list -of all the satellites known currently to the system.

If you give a name then you can obtain tracking data of all the passes -that start and finish 5 degrees below the horizon. As default it will -give information for the next three hours for every five minute period.

You can alter the number of hours and the step size, within certain -limits.

Each pass in a period is separated with a row of '-----' characters

So for example:-


-- SH/SAT AO-10 
- SH/SAT FENGYUN1 12 2
-
-

- -

11.107 show/station [<callsign> ..] -

- -

show/station [<callsign> ..] Show information about a callsign

- -

Show the information known about a callsign and whether (and where) -that callsign is connected to the cluster.

- -

Show the sun rise and set times for a (list of) prefixes or callsigns, -together with the azimuth and elevation of the sun currently at those -locations.

If you don't specify any prefixes or callsigns, it will show the times for -your QTH (assuming you have set it with either SET/LOCATION or SET/QRA), -together with the current azimuth and elevation.

If all else fails it will show the sunrise and set times for the node -that you are connected to.

For example:-


--  SH/SUN
-  SH/SUN G1TLH K9CW ZS
-
-

You can also use this command to see into the past or the future, so -if you want to see yesterday's times then do:-


--  SH/SUN -1 
-
-

or in three days time:-


--  SH/SUN +3 W9
-
-

Upto 366 days can be checked both in the past and in the future.

Please note that the rise and set times are given as the UT times of rise -and set on the requested UT day.

- -

Show the VHF DX Spotter table for the list of prefixes for the last -<days> no of days (default is 31), starting from a date (default: today).

If there are no prefixes then it will show the table for your country.


--  sh/vhftable g gm gd gi gj gw gu 
-
-

Note that the prefixes are converted into country codes so you don't have -to list all possible prefixes for each country.

If you want more or less days than the default simply include the -number you require:-


--  sh/vhftable 20 pa
-
-

If you want to start at a different day, simply add the date in some -recognizable form:-


--  sh/vhftable 2 25nov02
-  sh/vhftable 2 25-nov-02 
-  sh/vhftable 2 021125 
-  sh/vhftable 2 25/11/02
-
-

This will show the stats for your DXCC for that CQWW contest weekend.

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


--  sh/vhftable all

11.118 sysop -

- -

sysop Regain your privileges if you login remotely

- -

The system automatically reduces your privilege level to that of a -normal user if you login in remotely. This command allows you to -regain your normal privilege level. It uses the normal system: five -numbers are returned that are indexes into the character array that is -your assigned password (see SET/PASSWORD). The indexes start from -zero.

You are expected to return a string which contains the characters -required in the correct order. You may intersperse those characters -with others to obscure your reply for any watchers. For example (and -these values are for explanation :-):


--  password = 012345678901234567890123456789
-  > sysop
-  22 10 15 17 3
-
-

- -you type:- -


-- aa2bbbb0ccc5ddd7xxx3n
- or 2 0 5 7 3
- or 20573
-
-

They will all match. If there is no password you will still be offered -numbers but nothing will happen when you input a string. Any match is -case sensitive.

11.119 talk <call> > <node> [<text>] -

- -

talk <call> > <node> [<text>] Send a text message to another station via a node

- -

Send a short message to any other station that is visible on the cluster -system. You can send it to anyone you can see with a SHOW/CONFIGURATION -command, they don't have to be connected locally.

The second form of TALK is used when other cluster nodes are connected -with restricted information. This usually means that they don't send -the user information usually associated with logging on and off the cluster.

If you know that G3JNB is likely to be present on GB7TLH, but you can only -see GB7TLH in the SH/C list but with no users, then you would use the -second form of the talk message.

If you want to have a ragchew with someone you can leave the text message -out and the system will go into 'Talk' mode. What this means is that a -short message is sent to the recipient telling them that you are in a -'Talking' frame of mind and then you just type - everything you send will -go to the station that you asked for.

All the usual announcements, spots and so on will still come out on your -terminal.

If you want to do something (such as send a spot) you preceed the normal -command with a '/' character, eg:-


--   /DX 14001 G1TLH What's a B class licensee doing on 20m CW?
-   /HELP talk
-
-

To leave talk mode type:


--   /EX
-
-

If you are in 'Talk' mode, there is an extention to the '/' command which -allows you to send the output to all the people you are talking to. You do -with the '//' command. For example:-


--  //sh/hftable
-
-

will send the hftable as you have it to all the people you are currently -talking to.

11.120 talk <call> [<text>] -

- -

talk <call> [<text>] Send a text message to another station

- - -

11.121 type <filearea>/<name> -

- -

type <filearea>/<name> Look at the contents of a file in one of the fileareas

- -

Type out the contents of a file in a filearea. So, for example, in -filearea 'bulletins' you want to look at file 'arld051' you would -enter:- -


--   TYPE bulletins/arld051
-
-

See also SHOW/FILES to see what fileareas are available and a -list of content.

11.122 unset/announce -

- -

unset/announce Stop announce messages coming out on your terminal

- - -

11.123 unset/anntalk -

- -

unset/anntalk Stop talk like announce messages on your terminal

- -

The announce system on legacy cluster nodes is used as a talk -substitute because the network is so poorly connected. If you:


--  unset/anntalk
-
-

you will suppress several of these announces, you may miss the odd -useful one as well, but you would probably miss them anyway in the -welter of useless ones.


--  set/anntalk 
-
-

allows you to see them again. This is the default.

11.124 unset/beep -

- -

unset/beep Stop beeps for DX and other messages on your terminal

Conflicts with: SET/DXGRID, SET/DXITU, SHOW/USSTATE

Do a STAT/USER to see which flags you have set if you are confused.

11.127 unset/dxgrid -

- -

unset/dxgrid Stop QRA Grid Squares on the end of DX announcements

- -

A standard feature which is enabled in version 1.43 and above is -that if the spotter's grid square is known it is output on the end -of a DX announcement (there is just enough room). Some user programs -cannot cope with this. You can use this command to reset (or set) -this feature.

Conflicts with: SET/DXCQ, SET/DXITU

Do a STAT/USER to see which flags you have set if you are confused.

11.128 unset/dxitu -

- -

unset/dxitu Stop ITU Zones on the end of DX announcements

- -

Display both the Spotter's and the Spotted's ITU Zone on the end -of a DX announcement (there is just enough room). Some user programs -cannot cope with this. The Spotter's ITU is on the RHS of the -time, the Spotted's ITU is on the LHS.

Conflicts with: SET/DXGRID, SET/DXCQ, SHOW/USSTATE

Do a STAT/USER to see which flags you have set if you are confused.

11.129 unset/echo -

- -

unset/echo Stop the cluster echoing your input

- -

If you are connected via a telnet session, different implimentations -of telnet handle echo differently depending on whether you are -connected via port 23 or some other port. You can use this command -to change the setting appropriately.

The setting is stored in your user profile.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO USE THIS COMMAND IF YOU ARE CONNECTED VIA AX25.

11.130 unset/email -

- -

unset/email Stop personal msgs being forwarded by email

- -

If any personal messages come in for your callsign then you can use -these commands to control whether they are forwarded onto your email -address. To enable the forwarding do something like:-


--  SET/EMAIL mike.tubby@somewhere.com
-
-

You can have more than one email address (each one separated by a space). -Emails are forwarded to all the email addresses you specify.

You can disable forwarding by:-


--  UNSET/EMAIL
-
-

- -

11.131 unset/here -

- -

unset/here Tell the system you are absent from your terminal

- - -

11.132 unset/logininfo -

- -

unset/logininfo Inform when a station logs out locally

- - -

11.133 unset/privilege -

- -

unset/privilege Remove any privilege for this session

- -

You can use this command to 'protect' this session from unauthorised -use. If you want to get your normal privilege back you will need to -either logout and login again (if you are on a console) or use the -SYSOP command.

11.134 unset/prompt -

- -

unset/prompt Set your prompt back to default

- -

This command will set your user prompt to exactly the string that you -say. The point of this command to enable a user to interface to programs -that are looking for a specific prompt (or else you just want a different -fixed prompt).


--  SET/PROMPT clx >
-
-

UNSET/PROMPT will undo the SET/PROMPT command and set you prompt back to -normal.

11.135 unset/talk -

- -

unset/talk Stop TALK messages coming out on your terminal

- - -

11.136 unset/usstate -

- -

unset/usstate Stop US State info on the end of DX announcements

- -

If the spotter's or spotted's US State is known it is output on the -end of a DX announcement (there is just enough room).

A spotter's state will appear on the RHS of the time (like -SET/DXGRID) and the spotted's State will appear on the LHS of the -time field. Any information found will override any locator -information from SET/DXGRID.

Some user programs cannot cope with this. You can use this command -to reset (or set) this feature.

Conflicts with: SET/DXCQ, SET/DXITU

Do a STAT/USER to see which flags you have set if you are confused.
