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
