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
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

Limitations

The following limitations are present:

DXPager needs Python 3 and the following libraries:

Furthermore, you need an account at LotW and hampager.de

In order to install dxpager, just clone the repo:

# git clone https://git.dk1mi.radio/mclemens/dxpager.git

execute the application with "python3 dxpager"
DXPager creates a default config file and states its location (e.g. ~/.config/dxpager/dxpager.ini)
adapt ~/.config/dxpager/dxpager.ini to your needs. Important setting are:
- cluster/host and cluster/port: Change this if you want to use another cluster server
- cluster/user: Enter here your call sign
- lotw/user: Enter here your lotw user name (your call sign). Leave at "N0CALL" to disable this feature.
- lotw/password: Enter here your lotw password
- lotw/mode: Enter here the mode you would like to filter the QSL download from LotW
- dapnet_user: Enter here the hampager.de user name (your call sign)
- dapnet_pass: Enter here your hampager.de password
- dapnet_callsigns: Enter here the call sign of the receiver
- dapnet_txgroup: Adapt the tx group to your region
execute the application again with "dxpager"
the software now tries to download the following files and stores them into the configuration directory:
