\e[1m1. Introduction\e[0m
+
+
\e[1m1.1. What is a DX Cluster?\e[0m
A DX Cluster is a packet node where DX chasers on any band or mode can
variations but here are the basic ones.
+
\e[1m2.1. AX25 logins.\e[0m
Simplicity itself. The usual \e[1mCONNECT \e[22mcommand will log you straight
- connect GB7MBC
- connect GB7MBC-1
+ connect GB7MBC
+ connect GB7MBC-1
Logging out can be done by simply issuing the standard \e[1mBYE \e[22mcommand.
+
You could also send a disconnect if you are using AX25, or a \e[1mCLOSE\e[0m
command if you are connected via telnet. If you do not log out
gracefully using one of the above commands, you may find you are
the TNC or by altering your program configuration.
+
\e[1m3. Setting your personal details.\e[0m
Once logged in to the cluster, you should set your details so that
number to the command. You can make it even more specific by adding a
band in either wavelength or frequency, and/or any additional
information such as QSL details.
-
\e[1mExamples:\e[0m
\e[1mExample:\e[0m
-
-
show/dx day 30
\e[1mExample:\e[0m
+
+
show/dx 20 prefix 9a on vhf day 30
details. They use your entered location as a reference, so if you
have not entered it or have entered it incorrectly they will not
return the correct information.
+
+
\e[1m5.1. Sun\e[0m
The \e[1mSHOW/SUN \e[22mcommand can be used in three different ways. It can be
ZS So-Africa-ZS6-ZS 03:59Z 16:42Z 277.6 35.0
+
\e[1m5.2. Moon\e[0m
The \e[1mSHOW/MOON \e[22mcommand works in the same way as the \e[1mSHOW/SUN \e[22mcommand.

This example would send the line "Having a good day Iain?" to the user
g0rdi but would leave you in normal mode.
it's entirety unless you specify a page length. You can set your page
length to any number you like and when the message reaches that number
of lines you will get a prompt giving you options.
+
\e[1mExample:\e[0m
To delete a message, you use the \e[4mdelete\e[24m command. You can only delete
messages sent to or received by yourself. Bulletins are dealt with
automatically or by the sysop.

\e[1m10. Filtering (From version 1.45)\e[0m
\e[1m10.1. General filter rules\e[0m
They are ...
-
clear/spots 1
clear/spots all
the same principles to all types of filter.
-
\e[1m10.2. Types of filter\e[0m
There are two main types of filter, \e[4maccept\e[24m or \e[4mreject\e[24m. You can use
interested in CW, then you could say ...
-
reject/spots on hf/cw and not info iota
You can arrange your filter lines into logical units, either for your
own understanding or simply convenience. Here is an example ...
+
+
+
reject/spots 1 on hf/cw
reject/spots 2 on 50000/1400000 not (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
than simply setting one complex one. Doing it in this way means that
if you want to alter your filter you can just redefine or remove one
or more lines of it or one line. For example ...
-
-
-
reject/spots 1 on hf/ssb
VHF/UHF spots from EU.
+
\e[1m10.5. A Filtering Tutorial\e[0m
There is now an excellent primer/tutorial on filtering written by Jim
Look at the "DXSpider Command Reference" section to see what help can
be found.
-
\e[1mQ.\e[22mHow should I use the announce command?
\e[1mA.\e[22mWith respect. Use the command by all means, but please only use the
There are 2 types of filter, accept and reject. See HELP FILTERING
for more info.
+
+
\e[1m12.2. accept/announce [0-9] <pattern>
\e[0m
\e[1maccept/announce [0-9] <pattern>
\e[22mSet an 'accept' filter line for
- 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

+
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>
+ wx 1 filter WX announces
+
dest <prefixes> eg: 6MUK,WDX (distros)
You can use the tag 'all' to accept everything eg:
-
acc/ann all
acc/spot 3 all
-
for US states
but this probably for advanced users...
-
-
\e[1m12.4. accept/wcy [0-9] <pattern>
\e[0m
\e[1maccept/wcy [0-9] <pattern>
\e[22mset an 'accept' WCY filter
- blank abc
+ blank abc
This is really only of any use in a script file and you can print a
maximum of 9 lines.
-
-
\e[1m12.10. bye\e[0m
\e[1mbye \e[22mExit from the cluster
STAT/USER g1tlh
-
To send a message to a group type:-
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.
-
-
\e[1m12.29. echo <line>\e[0m
\e[1mecho <line> \e[22mEcho the line to the output
- GB7DJK
- g1tlh Dirk
- g3xvf Richard
+ GB7DJK
+ g1tlh Dirk
+ g3xvf Richard
on the output.
-
\e[1m12.30. filtering...\e[0m
\e[1mfiltering... \e[22mFiltering things in DXSpider
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 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
- 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)
+ 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)
See also CHAT, LEAVE, SHOW/CHAT
+
\e[1m12.33. kill <from msgno>-<to msgno>\e[0m
\e[1mkill <from msgno>-<to msgno> \e[22mDelete a range of messages
You can read any messages that are sent as 'non-personal' and also any
message either sent by or sent to your callsign.
-
\e[1m12.42. reject\e[0m
\e[1mreject \e[22mSet a filter to reject something
- rej/ann all
+ rej/ann all
but this probably for advanced users...
-
\e[1m12.44. reject/spots [0-9] <pattern>
\e[0m
\e[1mreject/spots [0-9] <pattern>
\e[22mSet a 'reject' filter line for spots
rej/spot 3 all
-
but this probably for advanced users...
-
-
\e[1m12.45. reject/wcy [0-9] <pattern>
\e[0m
\e[1mreject/wcy [0-9] <pattern>
\e[22mset a 'reject' WCY filter
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:-
\e[1m12.71. set/logininfo\e[0m
- \e[1mset/logininfo \e[22mInform when a station logs in locally
+ \e[1mset/logininfo \e[22mInform when a station logs in/out locally
\e[1m12.72. set/name <your name>\e[0m
- \e[1m12.78. set/talk\e[0m
+ \e[1m12.78. set/startup\e[0m
+
+ \e[1mset/startup \e[22mCreate your own startup script
+
+
+ Create a startup script of DXSpider commands which will be executed
+ everytime that you login into this node. You can only input the whole
+ script afresh, it is not possible to 'edit' it. Inputting a new script
+ is just like typing in a message using SEND. To finish inputting type:
+ /EX on a newline, to abandon the script type: /ABORT.
+
+ You may find the (curiously named) command BLANK useful to break up
+ the output. If you simply want a blank line, it is easier to input one
+ or more spaces and press the <return> key.
+
+ See UNSET/STARTUP to remove a script.
+
+ \e[1m12.79. set/talk\e[0m
\e[1mset/talk \e[22mAllow TALK messages to come out on your terminal
- \e[1m12.79. set/usstate\e[0m
