What This Skill Does
Connects to global DX cluster nodes via telnet to pull real-time amateur radio spots. Filters for rare DXCC entities, deduplicates spots, and generates daily band activity digests. An AI-enhanced mode adds propagation workability scoring and personalized DXCC filtering.
Aggregates multiple regional cluster nodes and deduplicates spots automatically, replacing manual monitoring of individual telnet connections.
When to use it
- Checking which rare DX stations are currently active on 20 meters
- Running a morning digest to review overnight band activity
- Setting up automated 5-minute alerts for most-wanted prefixes like VP8 or 3Y0
- Tracking a live DX expedition by watching for its callsign in fresh spots
- Filtering duplicate cluster spots to surface only new contacts
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: Any rare DX on the air right now?
- 1Connect to a DX cluster node via telnet
- 2Retrieve the latest batch of spots across all bands
- 3Cross-reference callsign prefixes against the rare DXCC prefix list
- 4Filter out previously seen spots using saved state
- 5Return matching rare spots with band, frequency, mode, and callsign
A formatted list of rare DX spots, for example VP8/G3XYZ on 40m CW at 7.015 and ZL2ABC on 15m FT8 at 21.074
