Re: FW: [CC-User] Bogus DX Spot Attacks on Clusters

I had noticed "something " going on. For the first time in many months, I turned SKIMMER on, on my spot sources. It took a few hours, but I found all my spot sources indicators were yellow, and when I opened config, Prune, Compact, Clear and (I think) Recompute were all flashing. Spot Collector was locked up and I had to use Task Manager to kill it. + Spot Source status displayed as "yellow" means "disconnected, trying to reconnect". Spot Database Entries was somewhere around 30K-40K entries. + That'd a big Spot Database during a popular contest with your own Skimmer running. There is/wasn't error log. + I suggest checking the Windows Error Log: 73, Dave, AA6YQ \ |

Turning Skimmer off and limiting the database size to 7K entries seems to have fixed whatever it was.

Re: Unable to upload to LotW
# more AA6YQ comments below
# That's the result of a defect in the current version of DXKeeper when "Sync LoTW QSOs" reports an error - typically a QSO that LoTW is reporting as accepted but is not present in your log. This defect is corrected in the next version of DXKeeper, which i can send you, but before I do that, is the "Report unmatched QSOs and QSLs as error" box checked on the "QSL Configuation" window's LoTW tab?

Dave, I proceeded through the instructions to:? 3. click the "Upload to LoTW" button+ That means at least 1 of those 95 QSOs - 4E1DX - had already been uploaded to LoTW from your current computer, even though the QSO doesn't so indicate.? + Please do the following: 1. Filter the Log Page Display with the SQL expression app_dxkeeper_lotw_qsl_sent <> 'Y' 2. On the Main window's QSL tab, 2a. set the "QSL Via" panel to LoTW 2b. click the Clear button beneath the "QSL Queue" 2c. click the "Update from LoTW" button; this will direct LoTW to report the status of the QSOs in the Log Page Display as a result of step 1 3. When step 2b finished, again filter the Log Page Display with the SQL expression app_dxkeeper_lotw_qsl_sent <> 'Y' Do any QSOs appear in the Log Page Display? If so, on the Main window's QSL tab, 4, click the "Add All" button 5. click the "Upload to LoTW" button; this time, we're only seeking to upload QSOs that we are certain have not already been updated 6. in an hour or so, click the "Sync LoTW QSOs" button + Normally, interoperation with LoTW does not require all of these manual steps.

Re: Unable to upload to LotW
Dave, I proceeded through the instructions to:?
3. click the "Upload to LoTW" button At that point I received a message that, in part, there were no QSLs to upload: "TQSL Version 2.7.5 [v2.7.5] Signing using Callsign NU6T, DXCC Entity UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Already Uploaded QSO detected on line 5 CALL: 4E1DX TIME_ON: 174200 QSO_DATE: 20250401 MODE: FT8 BAND: 20M FREQ: 14.074996 Duplicate QSO detected No QSOs to upload Final Status: No QSOs to upload(8)" It is not clear to me whether the "no QSOs to upload" relates only to the 4E1DX QSO or to the set of 95 QSOs. I will continue with instruction #4 in an hour or so. Rich, NU6T On Tue, Apr 1, 2025 at 12:08?PM Dave AA6YQ via <aa6yq=[email protected]> wrote:

FW: [CC-User] Bogus DX Spot Attacks on Clusters
FYI:
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lee Sawkins via groups.io Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2025 10:25 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CC-User] Bogus DX Spot Attacks on Clusters What happened this weekend was that tens of thousands of bogus spots were entered into the cluster system. These spots were all for SSB. Since there are no SSB skimmers available yet, all of these spots appeared to be manually entered, but in fact they were generated by a computer. Normally the human entered spots never are more than 60 per minute. During the weekend spots that were bogus were entered at many thousands per minute. These spots were targeting specific active calls. These spots were giving different frequencies on all contest bands for each bogus spot. These spots had same DX call and a different spotter call and different originating cluster call. This caused many nodes to get bogged down trying to process all this data. Some crashed. Others got hopelessly behind and continued sending data to my cluster which dropped the spots because they were too old. Millions of spots were being dropped. My cluster limits the number of spots to 60 per minute. This limited bogus spots but also good spots in each minute. When bogus spots stopped, then all the new good ones got through. Lee VE7CC |

Re: AT&T ending email to text on June18

For me this will mean no more SpotCollector emails to my iPhone via SMS alerting me to a potentially needed and workable spot.+ According to the Perplexity response appended below, you can configure your iPhone's email client to alert you when an email message from SpotCollector is received. Please give this a try, and post your results here. ? ? ? ? 73, ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Dave, AA6YQ Yes, an iPhone email client can be configured to alert the user when a message from a specific email address is received. Here are the methods:
Using Apple's Mail App
1. VIP Feature: Add the sender's email address to your VIP list in the Mail app. Go to the Mail app, tap "VIP," then "Add VIP," and select or enter the desired contact. Enable VIP alerts in *Settings > Notifications > Mail > Customize Notifications* and turn on notifications for VIPs only[4][8]. 2. Custom Sounds: You can customize notification sounds for VIP emails in *Settings > Notifications > Mail > Customize Notifications*[7]. Gmail App 1. Labels and Filters: On Gmail's web interface, create a label and filter for the specific sender. Apply the label to emails from that sender. On your iPhone, enable notifications for that label by going to *Settings > Manage Labels* in the Gmail app[5]. 2. Priority Notifications: Mark emails as "important" or use the "star" feature to prioritize notifications for specific senders[2][5]. Using Third-Party Apps 1. Outlook App: Add the sender as a "favorite" in Outlook to receive notifications exclusively for emails from that sender[3]. 2. eNotify: This app allows advanced customization, such as continuous alerts until the email is addressed[9]. These methods ensure you receive timely alerts without being overwhelmed by notifications from other emails.
