[SMCARA] Logging Software

[Daniel Metcalf - W3DMJ]

Good Morning All,

So while out on travel I have been working on my Java based logging
software which will be primarily for those who decide to run Linux as
their primary operating system and want a feature packed logbook like
Ham Radio Deluxe. But being I am writing the software in Java it will
work on windows as well.

I have the database interface setup to allow multiple operators to use
the software and I have made it easy to switch between their logs. I
have the QRZ callsign lookup working and I just finished the telnet
client module to allow DX Spotting functionality. I connected the client
to a few DX Clusters but I don't know the commands well enough to be
efficient at filtering. 

Does anyone know of a site or document that defines the filtering
commands for the DX Spotting network? or at least the most commonly used
commands? 

Now that I have the ability to connect and receive spots I am working on
the GUI portion to make it usable rather than just giving the user a
terminal like screen.

Once the DX Spotting portion is done I will be working on rig control
module but this is going to take a bit to complete because I have to
re-learn JNI (Java Native Interface) which will allow me to use a Shared
Object (Linux equivalent to a Windows DLL) or a Windows DLL written in C
++ to manage the serial connection to a rig so that the logging software
will be able to communicate  with the connected rig.

Once I get these basic modules complete I will make the software
available for those who wish to play along in a round of Alpha Testing. 

Have Fun!
