49 This will disconnect you from the cluster
52 <li><a name="L5"><b>DBAVAIL</b></a> Show a list of all the Databases in the system
54 Title says it all really, this command lists all the databases defined
55 in the system. It is also aliased to SHOW/COMMAND.
58 <li><a name="L6"><b>DBSHOW <dbname> <key></b></a> Display an entry, if it exists, in a database
60 This is the generic user interface to the database to the database system.
61 It is expected that the sysop will add an entry to the local Aliases file
62 so that users can use the more familiar AK1A style of enquiry such as:
70 but if he hasn't and the database really does exist (use DBAVAIL or
71 SHOW/COMMAND to find out) you can do the same thing with:
79 <li><a name="L7"><b>DIRECTORY</b></a> List messages
81 List the messages in the messages directory.
84 If there is a 'p' one space after the message number then it is a

425 cluster. See SHOW/BANDS for more information.
428 <li><a name="L17"><b>HELP</b></a> The HELP Command
430 HELP is available for a number of commands. The syntax is:-
438 Where <cmd> is the name of the command you want help on.
441 All commands can be abbreviated, so SHOW/DX can be abbreviated
442 to SH/DX, ANNOUNCE can be shortened to AN and so on.

702 to you will normally find their way there should you not be connected.
709 <li><a name="L38"><b>SET/LANGUAGE <lang></b></a> Set the language you want to use
711 You can select the language that you want the cluster to use. Currently
712 the languages available are en (english) and nl (dutch).
715 <li><a name="L39"><b>SET/LOCATION <lat & long></b></a> Set your latitude and longitude
717 In order to get accurate headings and such like you must tell the system
718 what your latitude and longitude is. If you have not yet done a SET/QRA
719 then this command will set your QRA locator for you. For example:-
721 SET/LOCATION 52 22 N 0 57 E
725 <li><a name="L40"><b>SET/NAME <your name></b></a> Set your name
727 Tell the system what your name is eg:-
733 <li><a name="L41"><b>SET/PAGE <lines per page></b></a> Set the lines per page
735 Tell the system how many lines you wish on a page when the number of line
736 of output from a command is more than this. The default is 20. Setting it
737 explicitly to 0 will disable paging.
744 <li><a name="L42"><b>SET/QRA <locator></b></a> Set your QRA locator
746 Tell the system what your QRA (or Maidenhead) locator is. If you have not
747 done a SET/LOCATION then your latitude and longitude will be set roughly
748 correctly (assuming your locator is correct ;-). For example:-
754 <li><a name="L43"><b>SET/QTH <your qth></b></a> Set your QTH

766 <li><a name="L45"><b>SET/WWV</b></a> Allow WWV messages to come out on your terminal
770 <li><a name="L46"><b>SET/WX</b></a> Allow WX messages to come out on your terminal
774 <li><a name="L47"><b>SHOW/DX</b></a> Interrogate the spot database
776 If you just type SHOW/DX you will get the last so many spots
777 (sysop configurable, but usually 10).
780 In addition you can add any number of these commands in very nearly
781 any order to the basic SHOW/DX command, they are:-
784 on <band> - eg 160m 20m 2m 23cm 6mm
785 on <region> - eg hf vhf uhf shf (see SHOW/BANDS)
788 <number> - the number of spots you want
789 <from>-<to> - <from> spot no <to> spot no in the selected list
792 <prefix> - for a spotted callsign beginning with <prefix>
793 *<suffix> - for a spotted callsign ending in <suffix>
794 *<string>* - for a spotted callsign containing <string>
797 day <number> - starting <number> days ago
798 day <from>-<to> - <from> days <to> days ago
801 info <text> - any spots containing <text> in the info or remarks
804 by <call> - any spots spotted by <call> (spotter <call> is the
810 qsl - this automatically looks for any qsl info on the call
812 held in the spot database.
816 iota [<iota>] - If the iota island number is missing it will look for
818 the string iota and anything which looks like an iota
819 island number. If you specify then it will look for
824 qra [<locator>] - this will look for the specific locator if you specify
826 one or else anything that looks like a locator.
835 SH/DX on 20m info iota
836 SH/DX 9a on vhf day 30
844 <li><a name="L48"><b>SHOW/DXCC <prefix></b></a> Interrogate the spot database by country
846 This command takes the <prefix> (which can be a full or partial
847 callsign if desired), looks up which internal country number it is
848 and then displays all the spots as per SH/DX for that country.
851 The options for SHOW/DX also apply to this command.
857 SH/DXCC W on 20m info iota
861 <li><a name="L49"><b>SHOW/FILES [<filearea> [<string>]]</b></a> List the contents of a filearea
863 SHOW/FILES on its own will show you a list of the various fileareas
864 available on the system. To see the contents of a particular file
867 SH/FILES <filearea>
869 where <filearea> is the name of the filearea you want to see the
873 You can also use shell globbing characters like '*' and '?' in a
874 string to see a selection of files in a filearea eg:-
876 SH/FILES bulletins arld*
880 See also TYPE - to see the contents of a file.
883 <li><a name="L50"><b>SHOW/MUF <prefix> [<hours>][long]</b></a> Show the likely propagation to a prefix
885 This command allow you to estimate the likelihood of you contacting
886 a station with the prefix you have specified. The output assumes a modest
887 power of 20dBW and receiver sensitivity of -123dBm (about 0.15muV/10dB SINAD)
890 The result predicts the most likely operating frequencies and signal
891 levels for high frequency (shortwave) radio propagation paths on
892 specified days of the year and hours of the day. It is most useful for
893 paths between 250 km and 6000 km, but can be used with reduced accuracy
894 for paths shorter or longer than this.
897 The command uses a routine MINIMUF 3.5 developed by the U.S. Navy and
898 used to predict the MUF given the predicted flux, day of the year,
899 hour of the day and geographic coordinates of the transmitter and
900 receiver. This routine is reasonably accurate for the purposes here,
901 with a claimed RMS error of 3.8 MHz, but much smaller and less complex
902 than the programs used by major shortwave broadcasting organizations,
903 such as the Voice of America.
906 The command will display some header information detailing its
907 assumptions, together with the locations, latitude and longitudes and
908 bearings. It will then show UTC (UT), local time at the other end
909 (LT), calculate the MUFs, Sun zenith angle at the midpoint of the path
910 (Zen) and the likely signal strengths. Then for each frequency for which
911 the system thinks there is a likelihood of a circuit it prints a value.
914 The value is currently a likely S meter reading based on the conventional
915 6dB / S point scale. If the value has a '+' appended it means that it is
916 1/2 an S point stronger. If the value is preceeded by an 'm' it means that
917 there is likely to be much fading and by an 's' that the signal is likely
921 By default SHOW/MUF will show the next two hours worth of data. You
922 can specify anything up to 24 hours worth of data by appending the no of
923 hours required after the prefix. For example:-
935 RxSens: -123 dBM SFI: 159 R: 193 Month: 10 Day: 21
936 Power : 20 dBW Distance: 6283 km Delay: 22.4 ms
937 Location Lat / Long Azim
938 East Dereham, Norfolk 52 41 N 0 57 E 47
939 United-States-W 43 0 N 87 54 W 299
940 UT LT MUF Zen 1.8 3.5 7.0 10.1 14.0 18.1 21.0 24.9 28.0 50.0
941 18 23 11.5 -35 mS0+ mS2 S3
942 19 0 11.2 -41 mS0+ mS2 S3
946 indicating that you will have weak, fading circuits on top band and
947 80m but usable signals on 40m (about S3).
958 will get you the above display, but with the next 24 hours worth of
968 Gives you an estimate of the long path propagation characterics. It
969 should be noted that the figures will probably not be very useful, nor
970 terrible accurate, but it is included for completeness.
973 <li><a name="L51"><b>SHOW/PREFIX <callsign></b></a> Interrogate the prefix database
975 This command takes the <callsign> (which can be a full or partial
976 callsign or a prefix), looks up which internal country number
977 it is and then displays all the relevant prefixes for that country
978 together with the internal country no, the CQ and ITU regions.
984 <li><a name="L52"><b>SHOW/SUN [<callsign>|<prefix>]</b></a> Display sunrise and sunset times
986 Show the sunrise and sunset times for a callsign (if it is known to the
987 cluster), a prefix or, if nothing is specified, at your QTH (if you have
988 remembered to set your location using SET/LOCATION or SET/QRA). If all else
989 fails it will show the sunrise and set times for the node that you are
993 You can enter more than one prefix or callsign:-
997 SH/SUN G1TLH G8TIC W9

1011 <li><a name="L55"><b>SYSOP</b></a> Regain your privileges if you login remotely
1013 The system automatically reduces your privilege level to that of a
1014 normal user if you login in remotely. This command allows you to
1015 regain your normal privilege level. It uses the normal system: five
1016 numbers are returned that are indexes into the character array that is
1017 your assigned password (see SET/PASSWORD). The indexes start from
1021 You are expected to return a string which contains the characters
1022 required in the correct order. You may intersperse those characters
1023 with others to obscure your reply for any watchers. For example (and
1024 these values are for explanation :-):
1028 password = 012345678901234567890123456789
1034 aa2bbbb0ccc5ddd7xxx3n
1040 They will all match. If there is no password you will still be offered
1041 numbers but nothing will happen when you input a string. Any match is

1047 Send a short message to any other station that is visible on the cluster
1048 system. You can send it to anyone you can see with a SHOW/CONFIGURATION
1049 command, they don't have to be connected locally.
1052 The second form of TALK is used when other cluster nodes are connected
1053 with restricted information. This usually means that they don't send
1054 the user information usually associated with logging on and off the cluster.
1057 If you know that G3JNB is likely to be present on GB7TLH, but you can only
1058 see GB7TLH in the SH/C list but with no users, then you would use the
1059 second form of the talk message.

1070 with restricted information. This usually means that they don't send
1071 the user information usually associated with logging on and off the cluster.
1074 If you know that G3JNB is likely to be present on GB7TLH, but you can only
1075 see GB7TLH in the SH/C list but with no users, then you would use the
