DX Telnet can send an email or SMS message if a specified call or prefix is spotted. I haven't used that program for a while, as I prefer VE7CC's AR-User program to connect to AR-Clusters. Both can be configured as a front-end to DXbase so that either of those program connects via telnet or packet to a cluster, and then DXbase (or another logging program) connects to it.
I did experiment it with the feature when I had my Motorola 2-way text pager, and it worked OK. Since SMS messages can be sent to a phone as an email address (required by DX Telnet) it should work.

As I was sitting around this afternoon waiting for the TJ3 station to grace SSB with his presence, I was wishing there were a way to get TXT or e-mail notification of all-time new spots on my cellphone. Essentially, I already have an amazingly good filter set established, both through my AR cluster connection's settings on a coarse level and through DXBase for fine. What I'd really like to see is a subset of "priority" level spots that get escalated to urgent status and are beamed out to a cell or pager. Anybody know of a way of doing this? Seems kids and executives are swearing by TXT messaging -- there's gotta be a way of doing this for DX spotting! Any ideas? 73 de Peter (W2IRT) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please visit http://www.nyctrackbook.com for details of my book Tracks of the NYC Subway ______________________________________________________________ Dxbase mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected]
