Search the help database for <string> (it isn't case sensitive), and print -the names of all the commands that may be relevant.
-blank [<string>] [<nn>] Print nn (default 1) blank lines (or strings)
In its basic form this command prints one or more blank lines. However if -you pass it a string it will replicate the string for the width of the -screen (default 80) and then print that one or more times, so:
--
-
- blank 2
-
-
-
-prints two blank lines
--
-
- blank -
-
-
-
-prints a row of - characters once.
--

-This is really only of any use in a script file and you can print a maximum -of 9 lines.
-bye Exit from the cluster
This will disconnect you from the cluster
-chat <group> <text> Chat or Conference to a group
It is now possible to JOIN a group and have network wide conferencing to that -group. DXSpider does not (and probably will not) implement the AK1A -conference mode as this seems very limiting, is hardly used and doesn't seem -to work too well anyway.
-This system uses the existing ANN system and is compatible with both other -DXSpider nodes and AK1A clusters (they use ANN/<group>).
-You can be a member of as many "groups" as you want. To join a group type:-
--
-
- JOIN FOC (where FOC is the group name)
-
-
-
-To leave a group type:-
--
-
- LEAVE FOC
-
-
-
-You can see which groups you are in by typing:-
--
-
- STAT/USER
-
-
-
-and you can see whether your mate is in the group, if he connects to the -same node as you, by typing:-
--
-
- STAT/USER g1tlh
-
-
-
-To send a message to a group type:-
--
-
- CHAT FOC hello everyone
-
-
-
-or
--
-
- CH #9000 hello I am back

-
- 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.
-clear/wcy [1|all] Clear a WCY filter line
This command allows you to clear (remove) a line in a WCY filter or to -remove the whole filter.
-see CLEAR/SPOTS for a more detailed explanation.
-clear/wwv [1|all] Clear a WWV filter line
This command allows you to clear (remove) a line in a WWV filter or to -remove the whole filter.
-see CLEAR/SPOTS for a more detailed explanation.
-dbavail Show a list of all the Databases in the system
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 <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
-
-
-
-
-directory <nn> List last <nn> messages
directory all List all messages
directory from <call> List all messages from <call>
directory new List all new messages
directory own List your own messages
directory subject <string> List all messages with <string> in subject
directory to <call> List all messages to <call>
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.
-echo <line> Echo the line to the output
This command is useful in scripts and so forth for printing the -line that you give to the command to the output. You can use this -in user_default scripts and the SAVE command for titling and so forth
-The script will interpret certain standard "escape" sequences as follows:-
--
-
- \t - becomes a TAB character (0x09 in ascii)
- \a - becomes a BEEP character (0x07 in ascii)
- \n - prints a new line
-
-
-
-So the following example:-
--
-
- echo GB7DJK is a dxcluster
-
-
-
-produces:-
--
-
- GB7DJK is a dxcluster
-
-
-
-on the output. You don't need a \n on the end of the line you want to send.
-A more complex example:-
--
-
- echo GB7DJK\n\tg1tlh\tDirk\n\tg3xvf\tRichard
-
-
-
-produces:-
--
-
- GB7DJK
- g1tlh Dirk
- g3xvf Richard
-
-
-
-on the output.
- -filtering... Filtering things in DXSpider
There are a number of things you can filter in the DXSpider system. They -all use the same general mechanism.
-In general terms you can create a 'reject' or an 'accept' filter which -can have up to 10 lines in it. You do this using, for example:-
--
-
- accept/spots .....
- reject/spots .....
-
-
-
-where ..... are the specific commands for that type of filter. There -are filters for spots, wwv, announce, wcy and (for sysops) -connects. See each different accept or reject command reference for -more details.
-There is also a command to clear out one or more lines in a filter and -one to show you what you have set. They are:-
--
-
- clear/spots 1
- clear/spots all
-
-
-
-and
--
-
- show/filter
-
-
-
-There is clear/xxxx command for each type of filter.
-For now we are going to use spots for the examples, but you can apply -the principles to all types of filter.
-There are two main types of filter 'accept' or 'reject'; which you use -depends entirely on how you look at the world and what is least -writing to achieve what you want. Each filter has 10 lines (of any -length) which are tried in order. If a line matches then the action -you have specified is taken (ie reject means ignore it and accept -means gimme it).
-The important thing to remember is that if you specify a 'reject' -filter (all the lines in it say 'reject/spots' (for instance)) then if -a spot comes in that doesn't match any of the lines then you will get -it BUT if you specify an 'accept' filter then any spots that don't -match are dumped. For example if I have a one line accept filter:-
--
-
- accept/spots on vhf and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
-
-
-
-then automatically you will ONLY get VHF spots from or to CQ zones 14 -15 and 16. If you set a reject filter like:
--
-
- reject/spots on hf/cw
-
-
-
-Then you will get everything EXCEPT HF CW spots, If you am interested in IOTA -and will work it even on CW then you could say:-
--
-
- reject/spots on hf/cw and not info iota
-
-
-
-But in that case you might only be interested in iota and say:-
--
-
- accept/spots not on hf/cw or info iota
-
-
-
-which is exactly the same. You should choose one or the other until -you are confortable with the way it works. Yes, you can mix them -(actually you can have an accept AND a reject on the same line) but -don't try this at home until you can analyse the results that you get -without ringing up the sysop for help.
-Another useful addition now is filtering by US state
--
-
- accept/spots by_state VA,NH,RI,ME
-
-
-
-You can arrange your filter lines into logical units, either for your -own understanding or simply convenience. I have one set frequently:-
--
-
- reject/spots 1 on hf/cw
- reject/spots 2 on 50000/1400000 not (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
-
-
-
-What this does is to ignore all HF CW spots (being a class B I can't -read any CW and couldn't possibly be interested in HF :-) and also -rejects any spots on VHF which don't either originate or spot someone -in Europe.
-This is an exmaple where you would use the line number (1 and 2 in -this case), if you leave the digit out, the system assumes '1'. Digits -'0'-'9' are available.
-You can leave the word 'and' out if you want, it is implied. You can -use any number of brackets to make the 'expression' as you want -it. There are things called precedence rules working here which mean -that you will NEED brackets in a situation like line 2 because, -without it, will assume:-
--
-
- (on 50000/1400000 and by_zone 14,15,16) or call_zone 14,15,16
-
-
-
-annoying, but that is the way it is. If you use OR - use -brackets. Whilst we are here CASE is not important. 'And BY_Zone' is -just 'and by_zone'.
-If you want to alter your filter you can just redefine one or more -lines of it or clear out one line. For example:-
--
-
- reject/spots 1 on hf/ssb
-
-
-
-or
--
-
- clear/spots 1
-
-
-
-To remove the filter in its entirty:-
--
-
- clear/spots all
-
-
-
-There are similar CLEAR commands for the other filters:-
--
-
- clear/announce
- clear/wcy
- clear/wwv
-
-
-
-ADVANCED USERS:-
-Once you are happy with the results you get, you may like to experiment.
-my example that filters hf/cw spots and accepts vhf/uhf spots from EU -can be written with a mixed filter, eg:
--
-
- rej/spot on hf/cw
- acc/spot on 0/30000
- acc/spot 2 on 50000/1400000 and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
-
-
-
-each filter slot actually has a 'reject' slot and an 'accept' -slot. The reject slot is executed BEFORE the accept slot.
-It was mentioned earlier that after a reject test that doesn't match, -the default for following tests is 'accept', the reverse is true for -'accept'. In the example what happens is that the reject is executed -first, any non hf/cw spot is passed to the accept line, which lets -thru everything else on HF.
-The next filter line lets through just VHF/UHF spots from EU.
-help The HELP Command
HELP is available for a number of commands. The syntax is:-
--
-
- HELP <cmd>
-
-
-
-Where <cmd> is the name of the command you want help on.
-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.
-join <group> Join a chat or conference group
JOIN allows you to join a network wide conference group. To join a -group (called FOC in this case) type:-
--
-
- JOIN FOC
-
-
-
-See also CHAT, LEAVE, SHOW/CHAT
-kill <from msgno>-<to msgno> Delete a range of messages
kill <msgno> [<msgno..] Delete a message from the local system
kill <msgno> [<msgno> ...] Remove or erase a message from the system
You can get rid of any message to or originating from your callsign using -this command. You can remove more than one message at a time.
-kill from <regex> Delete messages FROM a callsign or pattern
kill to <regex> Delete messages TO a callsign or pattern
leave <group> Leave a chat or conference group
LEAVE allows you to leave a network wide conference group. To leave a -group (called FOC in this case) type:-

-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. If the <call> you have specified is in fact -a known bulletin category on your node (eg: ALL) then the message should -automatically become a bulletin.
-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
-The system will ask you for a subject. Conventionally this should be -no longer than 29 characters for compatibility. Most modern cluster -software should accept more.
-You will now be prompted to start entering your text.
-You finish the message by entering '/EX' on a new line. For instance:
--
-
- ...
- bye then Jim
- 73 Dirk
- /ex
-
-
-
-If you have started a message and you don't want to keep it then you -can abandon the message with '/ABORT' on a new line, like:-
--
-
- line 1
- line 2
- oh I just can't be bothered with this
- /abort
-
-
-
-If you abort the message it will NOT be sent.
-When you are entering the text of your message, most normal output (such -as DX announcements and so on are suppressed and stored for latter display -(upto 20 such lines are stored, as new ones come along, so the oldest -lines are dropped).
-Also, you can enter normal commands commands (and get the output -immediately) whilst in the middle of a message. You do this by typing -the command preceeded by a '/' character on a new line, so:-
--
-
- /dx g1tlh 144010 strong signal
-
-
-
-Will issue a dx annoucement to the rest of the cluster.
-Also, you can add the output of a command to your message by preceeding -the command with '//', thus :-
--
-
- //sh/vhftable
-
-
-
-This will show YOU the output from SH/VHFTABLE and also store it in the -message.
-You can carry on with the message until you are ready to send it.

-
- SET/PAGE 30
- SET/PAGE 0
-
-
-
-The setting is stored in your user profile.
-set/password Set your own password
This command only works for a 'telnet' user (currently). It will -only work if you have a password already set. This initial password -can only be set by the sysop.
-When you execute this command it will ask you for your old password, -then ask you to type in your new password twice (to make sure you -get it right). You may or may not see the data echoed on the screen -as you type, depending on the type of telnet client you have.
-set/prompt <string> Set your prompt to <string>
set/qra <locator> Set your QRA Grid 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:- -

-show/configuration [<node>] Show all the nodes and users visible
This command allows you to see all the users that can be seen -and the nodes to which they are connected.
-This command is normally abbreviated to: sh/c
-Normally, the list returned will be just for the nodes from your -country (because the list otherwise will be very long).
--
-
- SH/C ALL
-
-
-
-will produce a complete list of all nodes.
-BE WARNED: the list that is returned can be VERY long
-It is possible to supply a node or part of a prefix and you will get -a list of the users for that node or list of nodes starting with -that prefix.
--
-
- SH/C GB7DJK
-
-
-
--
-
- SH/C SK
-
-
-
-
-show/configuration/node Show all the nodes connected locally
Show all the nodes connected to this node.
-show/contest <year and month> Show all the contests for a month
Show all known contests which are maintained at http://www.sk3bg.se/contest/ -for a particular month or year. The format is reasonably flexible. -For example:-
--
-
- SH/CONTEST sep2003
- SH/CONTEST 03 march
-
-
-
-
-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/db0sdx <callsign> Show QSL infomation from DB0SDX database
This command queries the DB0SDX QSL server on the internet -and returns any information available for that callsign. This service -is provided for users of this software by http://www.qslinfo.de.
-See also SHOW/QRZ, SHOW/WM7D.
-show/dx 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 commands 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)
- on <from>/<to> - eg 1000/4000 14000-30000 (in Khz)
- <from>-<to>
-
-
-
--
-
- <number> - the number of spots you want
- <from>-<to> - <from> spot no <to> spot no in the selected list
- <from>/<to>
-
-
-
--
-
- <prefix> - for a spotted callsign beginning with <prefix>
- *<suffix> - for a spotted callsign ending in <suffix>
- *<string>* - for a spotted callsign containing <string>
-
-
-
--
-
- day <number> - starting <number> days ago
- day <from>-<to> - <from> days <to> days ago
- <from>/<to>
-
-
-
--
-
- 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.
-
-
-
--
-
- dxcc - treat the prefix as a 'country' and look for spots
- from that country regardless of actual prefix.
- eg dxcc oq2
-
-
-
--
-
- You can also use this with the 'by' keyword so
- eg by W dxcc
-
-
-
--
-
- 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
- SH/DX dxcc oq2
- SH/DX dxcc oq2 by w dxcc
-
-
-
-
-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.
-This is now an alias for 'SHOW/DX DXCC'
-The options for SHOW/DX also apply to this command. -e.g.
--
-
- SH/DXCC G
- SH/DXCC W on 20m iota
-
-
-
-This can be done with the SHOW/DX command like this:-
--
-
- SH/DX dxcc g
- SH/DX dxcc w on 20m iota
-
-
-
-
-show/dxqsl <callsign> Show any QSL info gathered from spots
The node collects information from the comment fields in spots (things -like 'VIA EA7WA' or 'QSL-G1TLH') and stores these in a database.
-This command allows you to interrogate that database and if the callsign -is found will display the manager(s) that people have spotted. This -information is NOT reliable, but it is normally reasonably accurate if -it is spotted enough times.
-For example:-
--
-
- sh/dxqsl 4k9w
-
-
-
-You can check the raw input spots yourself with:-
--
-
- sh/dx 4k9w qsl
-
-
-
-This gives you more background information.
-show/dxstats [days] [date] Show the DX Statistics
Show the total DX spots for the last <days> no of days (default is 31), -starting from a <date> (default: today).
-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 contents of all the filters you have set
Show the contents of all the filters that are set. This command displays -all the filters set - for all the various categories.
-show/hfstats [days] [date] Show the HF DX Statistics
Show the HF DX spots breakdown by band for the last <days> no of days -(default is 31), starting from a <date> (default: today).
-show/hftable [days] [date] [prefix ...] Show the HF DX Spotter Table
Show the HF DX Spotter table for the list of prefixes for the last -<days> no of days (default is 31), starting from a <date> (default: today).
-If there are no prefixes then it will show the table for your country.
-Remember that some countries have more than one "DXCC country" in them -(eg G :-), to show them (assuming you are not in G already which is -specially treated in the code) you must list all the relevant prefixes
--
-
- sh/hftable g gm gd gi gj gw gu
-
-
-
-Note that the prefixes are converted into country codes so you don't have -to list all possible prefixes for each country.
-If you want more or less days than the default simply include the -number you require:-
--
-
- sh/hftable 20 pa
-
-
-
-If you want to start at a different day, simply add the date in some -recognizable form:-
--
-
- sh/hftable 2 25nov02
- sh/hftable 2 25-nov-02
- sh/hftable 2 021125
- sh/hftable 2 25/11/02
-
-
-
-This will show the stats for your DXCC for that CQWW contest weekend.
-You can specify either prefixes or full callsigns (so you can see how you -did against all your mates). You can also say 'all' which will then print -the worldwide statistics.
--
-
- sh/hftable all
-
-
-
-
-show/moon [ndays] [<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 illuminated fraction of the moons disk.
-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
-
-
-
-You can also use this command to see into the past or the future, so -if you want to see yesterday's times then do:-
--
-
- SH/MOON -1
-
-
-
-or in three days time:-
--
-
- SH/MOON +3 W9
-
-
-
-Upto 366 days can be checked both in the past and in the future.
-Please note that the rise and set times are given as the UT times of rise and -set on the requested UT day.
-show/muf <prefix> [<hours>][long] Show the likely propagation to a 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/newconfiguration [<node>] Show all the nodes and users visible
This command allows you to see all the users that can be seen -and the nodes to which they are connected.
-This command produces essentially the same information as -SHOW/CONFIGURATION except that it shows all the duplication of -any routes that might be present It also uses a different format -which may not take up quite as much space if you don't have any -loops.
-BE WARNED: the list that is returned can be VERY long
-show/newconfiguration/node Show all the nodes connected locally
Show all the nodes connected to this node in the new format.
-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 <lat> <long> Convert lat/long to a QRA Grid 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/qra <locator> [<locator>] Show distance between QRA Grid locators
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
-See also SHOW/WM7D for an alternative.
-show/route <callsign> ... Show the route to the 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 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/station [<callsign> ..] Show information about a callsign
Show the information known about a callsign and whether (and where) -that callsign is connected to the cluster.

-show/sun [ndays] [<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
-
-
-
-You can also use this command to see into the past or the future, so -if you want to see yesterday's times then do:-
--
-
- SH/SUN -1
-
-
-
-or in three days time:-
--
-
- SH/SUN +3 W9
-
-
-
-Upto 366 days can be checked both in the past and in the future.
-Please note that the rise and set times are given as the UT times of rise -and set on the requested UT day.
-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/usdb [call ..] Show information held on the FCC Call database

-If there are no prefixes then it will show the table for your country.
-Remember that some countries have more than one "DXCC country" in them -(eg G :-), to show them (assuming you are not in G already which is -specially treated in the code) you must list all the relevant prefixes
--
-
- sh/vhftable g gm gd gi gj gw gu
-
-
-
-Note that the prefixes are converted into country codes so you don't have -to list all possible prefixes for each country.
-If you want more or less days than the default simply include the -number you require:-
--
-
- sh/vhftable 20 pa
-
-
-
-If you want to start at a different day, simply add the date in some -recognizable form:-
--
-
- sh/vhftable 2 25nov02

-show/wwv Show last 10 WWV broadcasts
show/wwv <n> Show 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 <call> > <node> [<text>] Send a text message to another station via a node
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 preceed the normal -command with a '/' character, eg:-
--
-
- /DX 14001 G1TLH What's a B class licensee doing on 20m CW?
- /HELP talk
-
-
-
