[DXBase] I found another use for filtering

2003年2月02日 23:02:59 +0000

Hi all,
Following this discussion and Jack's comment about the filtering preferably 
happening at the cluster end of things I have been experimenting with 
cluster software.
As a result of this and some comments from local users I am in the process 
of moving to a Dxspider cluster. My Dxnet cluster on port 9000 will 
eventually close.
it's at
mayodx.ath.cx port 7300
It has a worldwide feed but users can easily filter spots by zone if that's 
what you want
for example.
accept/spots on hf/ssb and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
will only display HF/SSB spots FOR or FROM station in CQ zones 14,15 & 16 
(europe)
you can also filter by comment
e.g reject/spots info beacon or info Beacun
your spot filter can have up to 10 lines so for complex filters do this
accept/spots 1 on hf/ssb and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
reject/spots 2 info beacon or info Beacun
accept/spots 3 on 6m and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
the number represents the line number, you can see your current filter 
settings by
show/spots
and clear your filter by
clear/spots all
clear/spots 1 just clears line1
I won't go into all the details here but similar filters can be used with 
ANN traffic as well
A full user manual for dxspider nodes is at
http://www.dxcluster.org/main/usermanual.html
you can also filter by lots of other terms
Type
help accept
for more information
or see the Administration manual for more details and some other examples
http://www.dxcluster.org/main/adminmanual.html
one thing that is a little different on the dxspider clusters is that 
commands like
sh/dx 20m need to be given as
sh/dx on 20m to work correctly
BUT you can have complex queries such as
sh/dx on 20m/ssb info iota
which will show only spots on 20m SSB with iota information in the comment 
field
sh/dx from ei6iz
will show spots from ei6iz
sh/dx dxcc g
will show spots for G and M stations (not not GI or GU )
I will be happy to help out any new users of my cluster with commands or 
setting up filters. Dxbase users especially welcome !
