[Dx4win] New upgrade feature involving Skimmer
Hi, Many of DX4WIN users are surely also using the CW Skimmer, which is a perfect tool for CW contacts. Unfortunately, clicking on the Skimmer's callsign doesn't populate DX4WIN callsign field. The only way to do it is to link Skimmer via Telnet to DX4WIN local cluster and click on the callsign on the Cluster window, not at all practical for real-time use when wanting to answer just appearing station shown on the Skimmer box.I asked Alex VE3NEA if he could do something about it. Here is my question and his response: "Responding to a station in real time when just seen and clicked on the Skimmer window should at the same time automatically enter the call in the logger (in my case DX4WIN), providing that logger's cluster is already connected to the Skimmer's telnet port. This would allow fast contesting/logging. As it is now, one has to click on the spot transferred from Skimmer Telnet port to the logger cluster port, what is not very convenient for real time operation, like contests, when the band cluster display gets over- crowded." Alex answered:"CW Skimmer notifies the connected programs of the mouse clicks on the calls. Some loggers make use of these notifications, some don't. If DX4WIN doesn't, please bring its author's attention to this. 73 Alex VE3NEA" So, I think it would be greatly appreciated if the next issue of DW4WIN takes care of this. 73, Radi F6GNZ __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Hello Radi I use to run VE7CC CC Cluster program, connected to VE7CC's node and activating normal spots with skimmers spot runs perfectly in DX4WIN. It is easy to use and give to the user a lot of DX tools . Try it and let me know!! 73's de Rick EA4ZK 2017-01-29 13:29 GMT+01:00 Radivoj Kar, F6GNZ via DX4WIN < dx4win@mailman.qth.net>: > Hi, > Many of DX4WIN users are surely also using the CW Skimmer, which is a > perfect tool for CW contacts.

Re: [Dx4win] New upgrade feature involving Skimmer
Hi Ricardo,Thanks for the message. I know this and am also using the VE7CC cluster and also had interfaced it with the Skimmer. But, it doesn't do what is needed in case of a contest or crowded band, when the cluster spots window (and the band-spots windows) gets almost ful and holds callsigns for some time even if they are not momentarily active. So, in these situations, the only reliable operation can be achieved by looking at the Skimmer window and clicking on wanted callsign that just appeared and went to RX. In this case, the callsign is not written into DX4WIN and must be done manually, what is a big lost of time. Alex says Skimmer sends the click info that could be used by logger and some loggers use it to populate the callsign field, but DX4WIN doesn't 73, Radi f6gnz Le Dimanche 29 janvier 2017 22h05, Ricardo Navarrete a écrit : Hello Radi I use to run VE7CC CC Cluster program, connected to VE7CC's node and activating normal spots with skimmers spot runs perfectly in DX4WIN.
