DXCluster
Once you set up the DXCluster-Settings at Admin -> Global Options -> DXCluster you and your Users will be able to use BandMap and BandList within Cloudlog.
Setup:
Go (as Admin) to Admin -> Global Options -> DXCluster and fill in the values:
- "Provider of DXClusterCache": Enter the suggested url there, or - if you want to use your own DXCluster-Cache - you can download/install a copy from here
- "Maximum Age of spots": The spots will disappear after that minutes.
- "Show spots which are spotted...": That continent will be preselected for you and your Users at BandMap/BandList
If you want to use your own DXCluster-Cache you can download/install a copy from here
Usage
A new Item will Appear at "QSO", it is called "BandMap".
General
You'll see the latest spots on the Cluster there. If you click on a callsign the QSO-Window will be opened (if it isn't already) and prefilled with QRG/Call and so on. So you're able to log stations quickly. This feature is only available at BandList!
On the top you can choose Band / CAT and set a filter to display only spots which are spotted from a specific continent. Best working setup are tow screens. One with the QSO-Window, the other with the BandList.
If you like to save space within BandMap or BandList, there's a small triangle at the top of the page. By pressing that, the Menubar will fade out. Clicking again reveals it.
