I just released DXPager, a script that sends DAPNET messages to your pager if a DX station whose entity you have not worked/confirmed before has been spotted. In other words: The script checks your LotW QSL log, observes the DX cluster and pages you as soon as a new one appears. A "(L)" is added to the message if the DX station is a LotW user. Additionally, you can define a watch list of DX call signs for which you'd also liek to be notified.

What it does in more detail:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* parses the output of a specific dx cluster server
|
||
|
* downloads your LotW QSL file
|
||
|
* determines the DX station's country
|
||
|
* determines the DX station's continent
|
||
|
* determines if the DX station uses LotW
|
||
|
* determines if the DX station's country has been confirmed via LotW
|
||
|
* checks if the DX call is in your VIP call list
|
||
|
* de-duplicates spots
|
||
|
* and finally - if it's a new DXCC or a watchlist triggered - sends the information to your DAPNET pager
