The dDX bot on #cqdx relays Amateur Radio DX spots from the cluster network to iRC users on the othernet IRC network. There are other functions that operators may find usefull when chasing that "rare" one. This manual will explain it's operation and go into detail on all the functions that are available to the #cqdx users.
dDX sits on the channel and relay spots that arrive on it's own CLX
cluster node. It will also allow users to add their own spots to
the cluster network. These spots all get stored into an internal
database for later retrieval if the user wishes to look back. The
database can be cleared out at any time by the bot operators. Currently
the bot operators are:
VE2UFO
N6RT
KL9A
WD4NGB
K6RMJ
If some sort of consensus can be reached on when to clear the database,
ask one of these people to do it for you. Otherwise, the database
will most likely be cleared at the start of contests, or when the
database is deemed to be too full of old spots. (Daily cleanup would be
good when not in a contest).
