[OKDXA] DX Spots you don't want to miss

[Mark Beckwith]

Greetings, DXers.

A while ago I found I wanted to always meet my buddy on the air whenever 
he was out peak-bagging and doing QRP SOTAs from mountaintops.  It was 
always frustrating to "read about it the morning paper" the next day.

So I went looking for intelligent solutions to this challenge and tried 
a few phone apps.  I settled on HamAlert after trying a few and being 
frustrated:

When Jeff asked about recording his CW pileups, I just opened the app 
and added ZL7/K5WE to the list, and now I get phone notifications when 
he gets spotted.

At the moment I am getting a lot of notifications, but that's because 
Jeff is getting spotted a lot.  This will increase the chance I'll find 
a time when I can record him on CW.  (I did not figure out if it is 
possible to filter out the FT mode spots but it might be).

Highly recommended app.  Clean, no ads, no other bloating, easy to use 
(my secret is I have it on my phone but _I configure it using the above 
web site on my computer_ because I'm an Old Guy™).

P.S. I'm Android, I have no idea if there is something like it for Apple 
phones
