On the S50CLX DXCluster server I have implemented the integration of spots that are not part of the classical telnet DXCluster network. To receive POTA/SOTA/WWFF/BOTA spots a connection via telnet protocol is required from your logging or with a standalone telnet client program. You have the possibility to select the reception of specific spots:

– for receiving only POTA spots, command: ACC/SPOTS INFO -POTA-

– for receiving only SOTA spots, command: ACC/SPOTS INFO -SOTA-

– for receiving only WWFF spots, command: ACC/SPOTS INFO -WWFF-

– for receiving only BOTA spots, command: ACC/SPOTS INFO -BOTA-

– for receiving POTA and SOTA spots execute the command: ACC/SPOTS INFO -POTA- OR INFO -SOTA-

– for receiving only BOTA, POTA, SOTA and WWFF spots execute the command: ACC/SPOTS INFO -BOTA OR INFO -POTA- OR INFO -SOTA- OR INFO -WWFF-

S50CLX CLUSTER DEFAULT (all spots receiving) command should be executed: CLEAR/SPOTS ALL

In cases where we do not want to receive BOTA, POTA, SOTA, WWFF spots e.g. in a contests, use the command as the first filter before all others. REJ/SPOTS 1 INFO -BOTA- OR INFO -POTA- OR INFO -SOTA- OR INFO -WWFF-

A connection via telnet protocol to s50clx.infrax.si port 41112 which is a completely free service is required to receive POTA/SOTA/WWFF/BOTA spots. Full ANG instructions at https://s50e.si/pota-sota-dxcluster/

I have only started on my POTA journey. I would like to use my local park
Combe valley Countryside Park
East Sussex.
UK
The park is on the South East coast between Hastings and Bexhill on sea.
Grid ref 50″51’06 North 0″30’56 East.

I have contacted April Jones M7APR who is responsible for allocating parks in the UK
I have sent her two emails with no reply.
Maybe she is not the rep any more? I was wondering if you could help me?
Sorry for the inconvenience.
