POTA/SOTA Hunters READ THIS! - EA3GCV - 07-01-2025

Hi all,

If you are a POTA/SOTA hunter I recommend you to add this Telnet Server in View / Telnet Control window then press the ADD button. Fill out the window as shown in the attached picture. This Telnet server is feeded by pota.app webpage and also experimentally by the official sotawatch.sota.org.uk webpage. A filter is included in the script to retrieve only spots having POTA or SOTA word in comments. Add the POTA and SOTA statistics in the DX Messages window (and/or use specific band maps for POTA and SOTA). With a quick overview, by means of the statistic colours, you will easily know if you need the spotted POTA/SOTA!  You won't miss out any needed POTA/SOTA! Moreover, if you add the QSO from DX windows or Band Maps the POTA and SOTA reference will be filled out automatically in the corresponding fields. 
Enjoy the power of Swisslog!

Hi Tom,

I can confirm that the S50CLK server is not working so I have deleted my message to avoid confusing users. However the IZ2LSC server is working perfectly.
