Below is a complete list of commands available from the cluster prompt. -These are listed below in alphabetical order.
- -accept/announce [0-9] <pattern> Set an accept filter
-line for announce
Create an 'accept this announce' line for a filter.
-An accept filter line means that if the announce matches this filter it is -passed onto the user. See HELP FILTERS for more info. Please read this -to understand how filters work - it will save a lot of grief later on.
-You can use any of the following things in this line:-
--
-
- info <string> eg: iota or qsl
- by <prefixes> eg: G,M,2
- origin <prefixes>
- origin_dxcc <numbers> eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)
- origin_itu <numbers>
- origin_zone <numbers>
- by_dxcc <numbers>
- by_itu <numbers>
- by_zone <numbers>
- channel <prefixes>
- wx 1 filter WX announces
- dest <prefixes> eg: 6MUK,WDX (distros)
-
-some examples:-
--
-
- acc/ann dest 6MUK
- acc/ann 2 by_zone 14,15,16
- (this could be all on one line: acc/ann dest 6MUK or by_zone 14,15,16)
-
-or
--
-
- acc/ann by G,M,2
-
-This filter would only allow announces that were posted buy UK stations. -You can use the tag 'all' to accept everything eg:
--
-
- acc/ann all
-
-but this probably for advanced users...
- -accept/spots [0-9] <pattern> Set an accept filter line for spots
Create an 'accept this spot' line for a filter.
- -An accept filter line means that if the spot matches this filter it is -passed onto the user. See HELP FILTERS for more info. Please read this -to understand how filters work - it will save a lot of grief later on.
-You can use any of the following things in this line:-
--
-
- freq <range> eg: 0/30000 or hf or hf/cw or 6m,4m,2m
- on <range> same as 'freq'
- call <prefixes> eg: G,PA,HB9
- info <string> eg: iota or qsl
- by <prefixes>
- call_dxcc <numbers> eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)
- call_itu <numbers>
- call_zone <numbers>
- by_dxcc <numbers>
- by_itu <numbers>
- by_zone <numbers>
- origin <prefixes>
- channel <prefixes>
-
-For frequencies, you can use any of the band names defined in -SHOW/BANDS and you can use a subband name like: cw, rtty, data, ssb - -thus: hf/ssb. You can also just have a simple range like: 0/30000 - -this is more efficient than saying simply: freq HF (but don't get -too hung up about that)
-some examples:-
--
-
- acc/spot 1 on hf/cw
- acc/spot 2 on vhf and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
-
-You can use the tag 'all' to accept everything, eg:
--
-
- acc/spot 3 all
-
-but this probably for advanced users...
- -accept/wcy [0-9] <pattern> set an accept WCY filter
It is unlikely that you will want to do this, but if you do then you can -filter on the following fields:-
--
-
- by <prefixes> eg: G,M,2
- origin <prefixes>
- origin_dxcc <numbers> eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)
- origin_itu <numbers>
- origin_zone <numbers>
- by_dxcc <numbers>
- by_itu <numbers>
- by_zone <numbers>
- channel <prefixes>
-
-There are no examples because WCY Broadcasts only come from one place and -you either want them or not (see UNSET/WCY if you don't want them).
-This command is really provided for future use.
-See HELP FILTER for information.
- -accept/wwv [0-9] <pattern> Set an accept WWV filter
It is unlikely that you will want to do this, but if you do then you can -filter on the following fields:-
--
-
- by <prefixes> eg: G,M,2
- origin <prefixes>
- origin_dxcc <numbers> eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)
- origin_itu <numbers>
- origin_zone <numbers>
- by_dxcc <numbers>
- by_itu <numbers>
- by_zone <numbers>
- channel <prefixes>
-
-for example
--
-
- accept/wwv by_zone 4
-
-is probably the only useful thing to do (which will only show WWV broadcasts -by stations in the US).
-See HELP FILTER for information.
- -announce <text> Send an announcement to local users
Send an announcement to LOCAL users only, where <text> is the text -of the announcement you wish to broadcast
- -announce full <text> Send an announcement cluster wide
This command will send your announcement across the whole cluster -network.
- -apropos <string> Search the help database
Search the help database for <string> (it isn't case sensitive), -and print the names of all the commands that may be relevant.
- -bye Exit from the cluster
This will disconnect you from the cluster
- -clear/spots [1|all] Clear a spot filter line
This command allows you to clear (remove) a line in a spot filter or to -remove the whole filter.
-If you have a filter:-
--
-
- acc/spot 1 on hf/cw
- acc/spot 2 on vhf and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
-
-and you say:-
--
-
- clear/spot 1
-
-you will be left with:-
--
-
- acc/spot 2 on vhf and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
-
-If you do:
--
-
- clear/spot all
-
-the filter will be completely removed.
- -dbavail Show a list of all the databases in the system
The title says it all really, this command lists all the databases defined -in the system. It is also aliased to SHOW/COMMAND.
- -dbshow <dbname> <key> Display an entry, if it exists, in a database
This is the generic user interface to the database to the database system. -It is expected that the sysop will add an entry to the local Aliases file -so that users can use the more familiar AK1A style of enquiry such as:
--
-
- SH/BUCK G1TLH
-
-but if he hasn't and the database really does exist (use DBAVAIL or -SHOW/COMMAND to find out) you can do the same thing with:
--
-
- DBSHOW buck G1TLH
-
-directory List messages
directory all List all messages
-directory own List your own messages
-directory new List all new messages
-directory to <call> List all messages to <call>

-directory subject <string> List all messages with <string> in subject
-directory <nn> List last <nn> messages
-directory <from>-<to> List messages <from> message <to> message
List the messages in the messages directory.
-If there is a 'p' one space after the message number then it is a -personal message. If there is a '-' between the message number and the -'p' then this indicates that the message has been read.
-You can use shell escape characters such as '*' and '?' in the <call> -fields.
-You can combine some of the various directory commands together eg:-
--
-
- DIR TO G1TLH 5
-or
- DIR SUBJECT IOTA 200-250
-
-You can abbreviate all the commands to one letter and use ak1a syntax:-
--
-
- DIR/T G1* 10
- DIR/S QSL 10-100 5
-
-dx [by <call>] <freq> <call> <remarks> Send a DX spot
This is how you send a DX Spot to other users. You can, in fact, now -enter the <freq> and the <call> either way round.
--
-
- DX FR0G 144.600
- DX 144.600 FR0G
- DX 144600 FR0G
-
-will all give the same result. You can add some remarks to the end -of the command and they will be added to the spot.
--
-
- DX FR0G 144600 this is a test
-
-You can credit someone else by saying:-
--
-
- DX by G1TLH FR0G 144.600 he isn't on the cluster
-
-The <freq> is compared against the available bands set up in the -cluster. See SHOW/BANDS for more information.
- -help <cmd> Get help on a command
All commands can be abbreviated, so SHOW/DX can be abbreviated -to SH/DX, ANNOUNCE can be shortened to AN and so on.
-Look at the APROPOS <string> command which will search the help database -for the <string> you specify and give you a list of likely commands -to look at with HELP.
- -kill <msgno> [<msgno> ..] Delete a message from the local system
Delete a message from the local system. You will only be able to -delete messages that you have originated or been sent (unless you are -the sysop).
- -links Show which nodes are physically connected
This is a quick listing that shows which links are connected and -some information about them. See WHO for a list of all connections.
- -read Read the next unread personal message addressed to you
-read <msgno> Read the specified message
You can read any messages that are sent as 'non-personal' and also any -message either sent by or sent to your callsign.
- -reject/announce [0-9] <pattern> Set a reject filter
-for announce
Create an 'reject this announce' line for a filter.
-An reject filter line means that if the announce matches this filter it is -passed onto the user. See HELP FILTERS for more info. Please read this -to understand how filters work - it will save a lot of grief later on.

-
-but this probably for advanced users...
- -reject/spots [0-9] <pattern> Set a reject filter line for spots
Create a 'reject this spot' line for a filter.

-message
-reply RR <msgno> Reply to the specified message with read receipt
You can reply to a message and the subject will automatically have -"Re:" inserted in front of it, if it isn't already present.

- -send <call> [<call> ...] Send a message to one or more callsigns
-send RR <call> Send a message and ask for a read receipt
-send COPY <msgno> <call> Send a copy of a message to someone
-send PRIVATE <call> Send a personal message
-send NOPRIVATE <call> Send a message to all stations
All the SEND commands will create a message which will be sent either to -an individual callsign or to one of the 'bulletin' addresses.
-SEND <call> on its own acts as though you had typed SEND PRIVATE, that is -it will mark the message as personal and send it to the cluster node that -that callsign is connected to.
-You can have more than one callsign in all of the SEND commands.
-You can have multiple qualifiers so that you can have for example:-
--
-
- SEND RR COPY 123 PRIVATE G1TLH G0RDI
-
-which should send a copy of message 123 to G1TLH and G0RDI and you will -receive a read receipt when they have read the message.
-SB is an alias for SEND NOPRIVATE (or send a bulletin in BBS speak) -SP is an alias for SEND PRIVATE
- -set/address <your_address> Record your postal address
Literally, record your address details on the cluster.
- -set/announce Allow announce messages
Allow announce messages to arrive at your terminal.

Add a beep to DX and other terminal messages.
- -set/dxAllow DX messages to arrive at your terminal
You can stop DX messages with the unset/dx command
- -set/dxgridAllow grid squares on the end of DX messages
Some logging programs do not like the additional information at -the end of a DX spot. If this is the case, use the unset/dxgrid -command to remove the grid squares.
- -set/echo Make the cluster echo your input
If you are connected via a telnet session, different implimentations -of telnet handle echo differently depending on whether you are -connected via port 23 or some other port. You can use this command -to change the setting appropriately.
-You can remove the echo with the unset/echo command
-The setting is stored in your user profile.
-YOU DO NOT NEED TO USE THIS COMMAND IF YOU ARE CONNECTED VIA AX25.
- -set/here Set the here flag
Let others on the cluster know you are here by only displaying your -callsign. If you are away from your terminal you can use the unset/here -command to let people know you are away. This simply puts brackets -around your callsign to indicate you are not available.
- -set/homenode <node_call> Set your home cluster
Tell the cluster system where you normally connect to. Any Messages sent -to you will normally find their way there should you not be connected. -eg:-
--
-
- SET/HOMENODE gb7djk
-
-set/language <language> Set the language you wish to use
You can select the language that you want the cluster to use. Currently -the languages available are en (English) sp (Spanish) -and nl (Dutch).

--
-
- set/name Dirk
-
-set/page <n> Set the number of lines per page
Tell the system how many lines you wish on a page when the number of lines -of output from a command is more than this. The default is 20. Setting it -explicitly to 0 will disable paging.
--
-
- SET/PAGE 30
- SET/PAGE 0
-
-The setting is stored in your user profile.
- -set/qra <locator> Set your QRA locator
Tell the system what your QRA (or Maidenhead) locator is. If you have not -done a SET/LOCATION then your latitude and longitude will be set roughly -correctly (assuming your locator is correct ;-). For example:-
--
-
- SET/QRA JO02LQ
-
-set/qth <your QTH> Set your QTH
Tell the system where your are. For example:-
--
-

- -show/configuration [<node>] Show all visible nodes and their users
This command allows you to see all the users that can be seen -and the nodes to which they are connected. With the optional node, -you can specify a particular node to look at.
-This command is normally abbreviated to: sh/c
-BE WARNED: the list that is returned can be VERY long
- -show/configuration/node Show all the nodes connected
Show all the nodes connected locally and the nodes they have connected.
- - -show/date [<prefix>|<callsign>] Show
-the local time
This is very nearly the same as SHOW/TIME, the only difference the format -of the date string if no arguments are given.
-If no prefixes or callsigns are given then this command returns the local -time and UTC as the computer has it right now. If you give some prefixes -then it will show UTC and UTC + the local offset (not including DST) at -the prefixes or callsigns that you specify.
- -show/dx [options] interrogate the spot database
If you just type SHOW/DX you will get the last so many spots -(sysop configurable, but usually 10).
-In addition you can add any number of these options in very nearly -any order to the basic SHOW/DX command, they are:-
--
-
-
-on <band> - eg 160m 20m 2m 23cm 6mm
-on <region> - eg hf vhf uhf shf (see SHOW/BANDS)

-
-info <text> - any spots containing <text> in the info or remarks
-
-by <call> - any spots spotted by <call> (spotter <call>
- is the same).
-
-qsl - this automatically looks for any qsl info on the call
- held in the spot database.
-
-iota [<iota>] - If the iota island number is missing it will
- look for the string iota and anything which looks like
- an iota island number. If you specify then it will look
- for that island.
-
-qra [<locator>] - this will look for the specific locator if
- you specify one or else anything that looks like a locator.
-
-e.g.
--
-
-
- SH/DX 9m0
- SH/DX on 20m info iota
- SH/DX 9a on vhf day 30
- SH/DX rf1p qsl
- SH/DX iota
- SH/DX iota eu-064
- SH/DX qra jn86
-
-show/dxcc <prefix> Interrogate the spot database by country
This command takes the <prefix> (which can be a full or partial -callsign if desired), looks up which internal country number it is -and then displays all the spots as per SH/DX for that country.
-The options for SHOW/DX also apply to this command. -e.g.
--
-
-
- SH/DXCC G
- SH/DXCC W on 20m info iota
-
-show/files [<filearea> [<string>]] List
-the contents of a filearea
SHOW/FILES on its own will show you a list of the various fileareas -available on the system. To see the contents of a particular file -area type:-
--
-
- SH/FILES <filearea>
-
-where <filearea> is the name of the filearea you want to see the -contents of.
-You can also use shell globbing characters like '*' and '?' in a -string to see a selection of files in a filearea eg:-
--
-
- SH/FILES bulletins arld*
-
-See also TYPE - to see the contents of a file.
- -show/filter Show the filters you have set
Show the contents of all the filters that are set by you. This command -displays all the filters set - for all the various categories.
- -show/moon [<prefix>|<callsign>] Show moon
-rise and set times
Show the Moon rise and set times for a (list of) prefixes or callsigns, -together with the azimuth and elevation of the sun currently at those -locations.
-If you don't specify any prefixes or callsigns, it will show the times for -your QTH (assuming you have set it with either SET/LOCATION or SET/QRA), -together with the current azimuth and elevation.
-In addition, it will show the gain or loss dB relative to the nominal -distance of 385,000Km due to the ellipsoidal nature of the orbit.
-If all else fails it will show the Moonrise and set times for the node -that you are connected to.
-For example:-
--
-
- SH/MOON
- SH/MOON G1TLH W5UN
-
-show/muf <prefix> [<hours>][long] Show
-the likely propagation to <prefix>
This command allow you to estimate the likelihood of you contacting -a station with the prefix you have specified. The output assumes a modest -power of 20dBW and receiver sensitivity of -123dBm (about 0.15muV/10dB SINAD)
-The result predicts the most likely operating frequencies and signal -levels for high frequency (shortwave) radio propagation paths on -specified days of the year and hours of the day. It is most useful for -paths between 250 km and 6000 km, but can be used with reduced accuracy -for paths shorter or longer than this.
-The command uses a routine MINIMUF 3.5 developed by the U.S. Navy and -used to predict the MUF given the predicted flux, day of the year, -hour of the day and geographic coordinates of the transmitter and -receiver. This routine is reasonably accurate for the purposes here, -with a claimed RMS error of 3.8 MHz, but much smaller and less complex -than the programs used by major shortwave broadcasting organizations, -such as the Voice of America.
-The command will display some header information detailing its -assumptions, together with the locations, latitude and longitudes and -bearings. It will then show UTC (UT), local time at the other end -(LT), calculate the MUFs, Sun zenith angle at the midpoint of the path -(Zen) and the likely signal strengths. Then for each frequency for which -the system thinks there is a likelihood of a circuit it prints a value.
-The value is currently a likely S meter reading based on the conventional -6dB / S point scale. If the value has a '+' appended it means that it is -1/2 an S point stronger. If the value is preceeded by an 'm' it means that -there is likely to be much fading and by an 's' that the signal is likely -to be noisy.
-By default SHOW/MUF will show the next two hours worth of data. You -can specify anything up to 24 hours worth of data by appending the no of -hours required after the prefix. For example:-
--
-
- SH/MUF W
-
-produces:
--
-
- RxSens: -123 dBM SFI: 159 R: 193 Month: 10 Day: 21
- Power : 20 dBW Distance: 6283 km Delay: 22.4 ms
- Location Lat / Long Azim
- East Dereham, Norfolk 52 41 N 0 57 E 47
- United-States-W 43 0 N 87 54 W 299
- UT LT MUF Zen 1.8 3.5 7.0 10.1 14.0 18.1 21.0 24.9 28.0 50.0
- 18 23 11.5 -35 mS0+ mS2 S3
- 19 0 11.2 -41 mS0+ mS2 S3
-
-indicating that you will have weak, fading circuits on top band and -80m but usable signals on 40m (about S3).
-inputing:-
--
-
- SH/MUF W 24
-
-will get you the above display, but with the next 24 hours worth of -propagation data.
--
-
- SH/MUF W L 24
- SH/MUF W 24 Long
-
-Gives you an estimate of the long path propagation characterics. It -should be noted that the figures will probably not be very useful, nor -terrible accurate, but it is included for completeness.
- -show/prefix <callsign> Interrogate the prefix database
This command takes the <callsign> (which can be a full or partial -callsign or a prefix), looks up which internal country number -it is and then displays all the relevant prefixes for that country -together with the internal country no, the CQ and ITU regions.
-See also SHOW/DXCC
- -show/qra <locator> [<locator>] Show the distance
-between locators
-show/qra <lat> <long> Convert latitude and longitude to a locator
This is a multipurpose command that allows you either to calculate the -distance and bearing between two locators or (if only one locator is -given on the command line) the distance and beraing from your station -to the locator. For example:-
--
-
-SH/QRA IO92QL
-SH/QRA JN06 IN73
-
-The first example will show the distance and bearing to the locator from -yourself, the second example will calculate the distance and bearing from -the first locator to the second. You can use 4 or 6 character locators.
-It is also possible to convert a latitude and longitude to a locator by -using this command with a latitude and longitude as an argument, for -example:-
--
-
-SH/QRA 52 41 N 0 58 E
-
-show/qrz <callsign> Show any callbook details on a callsign
This command queries the QRZ callbook server on the internet -and returns any information available for that callsign. This service -is provided for users of this software by http://www.qrz.com
- -show/route <callsign> Show the route to <callsign>
This command allows you to see to which node the callsigns specified are -connected. It is a sort of inverse sh/config.
--
-
- sh/route n2tly
-
-show/satellite <name> [<hours> <interval>]
-Show satellite tracking data
Show the tracking data from your location to the satellite of your choice -from now on for the next few hours.
-If you use this command without a satellite name it will display a list -of all the satellites known currently to the system.
-If you give a name then you can obtain tracking data of all the passes -that start and finish 5 degrees below the horizon. As default it will -give information for the next three hours for every five minute period.
-You can alter the number of hours and the step size, within certain -limits.
-Each pass in a period is separated with a row of '-----' characters
-So for example:-
--
-
-SH/SAT AO-10
-SH/SAT FENGYUN1 12 2
-
-show/sun [<prefix>|<callsign>] Show
-sun rise and set times
Show the sun rise and set times for a (list of) prefixes or callsigns, -together with the azimuth and elevation of the sun currently at those -locations.
-If you don't specify any prefixes or callsigns, it will show the times for -your QTH (assuming you have set it with either SET/LOCATION or SET/QRA), -together with the current azimuth and elevation.
-If all else fails it will show the sunrise and set times for the node -that you are connected to.
-For example:-
--
-
- SH/SUN
- SH/SUN G1TLH K9CW ZS
-
-show/time [<prefix>|<callsign>] Show
-the local time
If no prefixes or callsigns are given then this command returns the local -time and UTC as the computer has it right now. If you give some prefixes -then it will show UTC and UTC + the local offset (not including DST) at -the prefixes or callsigns that you specify.
- -show/wcy Show the last 10 WCY broadcasts
-show/wcy <n> Show the last <n> WCY broadcasts
Display the most recent WCY information that has been received by the system
- -show/wwv Show the last 10 WWV broadcasts
-show/wwv <n> Show the last <n> WWV broadcasts
Display the most recent WWV information that has been received by the system
- -sysop Regain your privileges if you login remotely
The system automatically reduces your privilege level to that of a -normal user if you login in remotely. This command allows you to -regain your normal privilege level. It uses the normal system: five -numbers are returned that are indexes into the character array that is -your assigned password (see SET/PASSWORD). The indexes start from -zero.
-You are expected to return a string which contains the characters -required in the correct order. You may intersperse those characters -with others to obscure your reply for any watchers. For example (and -these values are for explanation :-):
--
-
- password = 012345678901234567890123456789
- > sysop
- 22 10 15 17 3
-
-you type:-
--
-
- aa2bbbb0ccc5ddd7xxx3n
- or 2 0 5 7 3
- or 20573
-
-They will all match. If there is no password you will still be offered -numbers but nothing will happen when you input a string. Any match is -case sensitive.
- -talk <callsign> Enter talk mode with <callsign>
-talk <callsign> <text> Send a text message to <callsign>
-talk <callsign> > <node_call> [<text>]
-Send a text message to <callsign> via <node_call>
Send a short message to any other station that is visible on the cluster -system. You can send it to anyone you can see with a SHOW/CONFIGURATION -command, they don't have to be connected locally.
-The second form of TALK is used when other cluster nodes are connected -with restricted information. This usually means that they don't send -the user information usually associated with logging on and off the cluster.
-If you know that G3JNB is likely to be present on GB7TLH, but you can only -see GB7TLH in the SH/C list but with no users, then you would use the -second form of the talk message.
-If you want to have a ragchew with someone you can leave the text message -out and the system will go into 'Talk' mode. What this means is that a -short message is sent to the recipient telling them that you are in a 'Talking' -frame of mind and then you just type - everything you send will go to the -station that you asked for.
-All the usual announcements, spots and so on will still come out on your -terminal.
-If you want to do something (such as send a spot) you precede the normal -command with a '/' character, eg:-
--
-
- /DX 14001 G1TLH What's a B class licensee doing on 20m CW?
- /HELP talk
-
-To leave talk mode type:
--
-
- /EX
-
-type <filearea>/<name> Look at a file in one of the fileareas
Type out the contents of a file in a filearea. So, for example, in -filearea 'bulletins' you want to look at file 'arld051' you would -enter:-
--
-
- TYPE bulletins/arld051
-
-See also SHOW/FILES to see what fileareas are available and a -list of content.
- -who Show who is physically connected locally
This is a quick listing that shows which callsigns are connected and -what sort of connection they have
- -wx <text> Send a weather message to local users
-wx full <text> Send a weather message to all cluster users
Weather messages can sometimes be useful if you are experiencing an extreme -that may indicate enhanced conditions
