DXPager
This script is a bot that sends you DAPNET messages if a DX station is spotted whose entity you have not worked/confirmed before. To achieve this, it
- 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
- and finally - if it's a new DXCC - sends the information to your dapnet pager
Limitations
The following limitations are present:
- read-only: you can't send commands to the dx cluster server via this tool
- no filters: you need to configure your filter on the server
