Jouni OH3CUF<p>Spotline, WWFF's new Spots &amp; Agenda service, is coming soon. It will replace the current WWFF Cluster and Agenda, with the plan being to have it up and running on June 1st, 2025. <br>Among other things, Spotline features a telnet server that mimics DXSpider. This means that you can connect to "Spotline" as a cluster node to receive WWFF spots into your favorite logging program. <br>Steps are also under way to integrate Spotline with HamAlert, PoLo, and Port-A-Log. Stay tuned! (original OH6KZP) <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/wwff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wwff</span></a></p>
