Help setting up spotting

[k3cka]

Wondering if someone could point me to a tutorial on how to setup up so I can see dx spots without having to keep a webpage open to dxsummit all the time? I've tried to figure it out, but have not been successful. I'm 100% sure its all user error.

I had found that and didn't see where I messed up.

I'm getting no input on my spot window, and terminal comes up with:

Attempt to connect to host timed out

*** Disconnected from dxsummit ***
Like I said, I'm sure its user error but I don't know where.

I have never setup this type of stuff before.

you should show us your settings in the Preferences below the DX-Cluster tab. It seems to be a wrong cluster address. Do you have tried DB0SUE? This configuration is always in and correct.

Ok, It seems that I got nc7j and kiel to work, but its not showing much for spots.


What do you enter to get a website like dxsummit to show up in your spot window?

[DL2RUM]

When there are not much spots in the spot window, but there are spots in the terminal, check your spot filter settings ion the Preferences under the DX-Cluster tab.

RUMlog uses telnet clusters only, no web sites.

Ok, will do.

I expected more spots to show up. I really appreciate your patience.

I love the log program!
