This example would send the line "Having a good day Iain?" to the user
g0rdi but would leave you in normal mode.
Talk (G0RDI)>
+
As you can see, you can still run commands whilst in talk mode.
Simply prefix the command with a / like /sh/dx and you will get the
expected output. If the user is connected to another node, you may

length to any number you like and when the message reaches that number
of lines you will get a prompt giving you options.

There are two main types of filter, _\ba_\bc_\bc_\be_\bp_\bt or _\br_\be_\bj_\be_\bc_\bt. You can use
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)
What this does is to ignore all HF CW spots and also rejects any spots
on VHF which don't either originate or spot someone in Europe.
+
+
This is an example where you would use a line number (1 and 2 in this
case), if you leave the digit out, the system assumes '1'. Digits
'0'-'9' are available. This make it easier to see just what filters
the various helpfiles for accept, reject and filter.

\b> 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 FILTERS 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 <numbers> eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)
- origin_itu <numbers>
- origin_zone <numbers>
- by_dxcc <numbers>
- by_itu <numbers>
- by_zone <numbers>
- 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
-
-
-
- This filter would only allow announces that were posted buy UK
- stations. You can use the tag 'all' to accept everything eg:
-
-
-
- acc/ann all
-
-
-
- but this probably for advanced users...

\b> 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 FILTERS 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 <numbers> eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)
- call_itu <numbers>
- call_zone <numbers>
- by_dxcc <numbers>
- by_itu <numbers>
- by_zone <numbers>
- origin <prefixes>
- channel <prefixes>
-
-
-
- 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
-
-
-
- but this probably for advanced users...

\b> 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 <numbers> eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)
- origin_itu <numbers>
- origin_zone <numbers>
- by_dxcc <numbers>
- by_itu <numbers>
- by_zone <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.

\b> 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 <numbers> eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)
- origin_itu <numbers>
- origin_zone <numbers>
- by_dxcc <numbers>
- by_itu <numbers>
- by_zone <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.

-
-
- 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.

-
-
- 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
-

- personal message. If there is a '-' between the message number and the
-
- 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

-
-
- 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

-
-
- 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

\b> Set a reject filter for announce
-
-
-
- Create an 'reject this announce' line for a filter.
-
- An reject filter line means that if the announce matches this filter
- it is passed onto the user. See HELP FILTERS 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 <numbers> eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)
- origin_itu <numbers>
- origin_zone <numbers>
- by_dxcc <numbers>
- by_itu <numbers>
- by_zone <numbers>
- 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...

\b> 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 FILTERS 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 <numbers> eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)
- call_itu <numbers>
- call_zone <numbers>
- by_dxcc <numbers>
- by_itu <numbers>
- by_zone <numbers>
- origin <prefixes>
- channel <prefixes>
-
-
-
- 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: on HF (but don't get too
- 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
-

-
-
- 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.
-
- 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

-
-
- 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 options 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)
-
- <number> - the number of spots you want
- <from>-<to> - <from> spot no <to> spot no in
- the selected list
-
- <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
-
- 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.
-
-
-
- e.g.
-
-
-
- SH/DX 9m0
- SH/DX on 20m info iota
- SH/DX 9a on vhf day 30

\b] 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 gain or loss dB relative to the nominal
- distance of 385,000Km due to the ellipsoidal nature of the orbit.
-
- 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

\b] Show the likely propagation to
- <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.

-
-
- 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

- 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

- s\bsy\bys\bso\bop\bp 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.

-
-
- 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 precede 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:
