[WT-support] Skimmer spots to Bandmap

[Tõnno Vähk]

Thanks Bob,

Yes, I thought I took care of all those things. Anyhow, I tried with another computer now in my QTH and it works OK. Must have had something wrong before. Works just great.

I have one question - I did not fully understand the purpose of checking CW Skimmer checkbox. I did not check it and it works without it perfectly. Why is this needed?

Hi, I am trying to test getting skimmer spots into bandmap with 4.5.1 and selecting a skimmer that produces spots with # sign I get very few of the spots moving further from DX Cluster window to DX Cluster Announcements and Radio 1 window.

Most of them never make it. Of course the windows are enabled for all calls. Those who do appear bear the # sign as the release notes say.

Can there be any problem with recognizing the spots and getting them to go further from DX Cluster window?

On the Contest Configuration window (REOPEN [Enter]), what contest did you specify?  What mode?  What bandplan did you specify at the bottom?  Click the bandplan [Setup] button and verify that the frequency ranges are accurate.  The mode and the current frequency ranges defined in the band plan control all bandmap spot filtering.  The timestamps do as well (spots older than a certain age are not posted to the band map).

What Skimmer cluster are you connecting to, or are you connecting to a local CW skimmer?  Do you get the same results when connecting to n4zr.dyndns.org<http://n4zr.dyndns.org> port 7300 or telnet.reversebeacon.net<http://telnet.reversebeacon.net> port 7000?

What version of WtDxTelnet are you using?  Did you check the "CW Skimmer" checkbox under Options | DX Cluster properties?

Do all the spots show up in the Announcements Window (Alt-A)?  How about the DX Cluster monitor window (Alt-O)?
