Help
Help <cmd>
HELP lists explanations for the different commands of CLX. HELP OVERVIEW will present you with an overview of all CLX commands. An additional parameter may be used if you want detailed information about a specific command. You may also request information for sub- commands like HELP SHOW/DX etc.
Announce
Announce/Full
Announce/<node_call>
Announce/<distro>
Use this command to make an announcement to all connected stations. When using the /FULL extension, the announcement will also be forwarded to other nodes (otherwise it will only be broadcast locally). The /<node_call> extension allows an announcement to be made to a specific node, while the /<distro> extension allows an announcement to the members of a distribution list.
Example:
ANNOUNCE/FULL Good condx on 6 meters today - band open to S.A.
Bye
Quit
As you may have guessed, this is the command to gracefully say good-bye to CLX and disconnect. You can also issue a disconnect command on your local TNC or use the close command if connected via telnet.
CLear/QSL <dx-call> <manager>
CLear/PROFILE
This command is used to delete entries from the database. Also it can be used to delete one's startup script.
CLear/PROFILE
To clear your own user profile you just enter CLEAR/PROFILE.
Example:
CLEAR/PROFILE Deletes your profile
CLear/QSL <dx-call> <manager>
If you want to delete QSL information, you have to specify both the DX call and the callsign of the QSL manager.
Example:
CLEAR/QSL LX7A DL7MAE Clears this record from the QSL database
CONFERence
CONFERence <name>
This command puts you into conference mode. This allows you to have a conversation with several people at once. Everything you write will be sent to the other stations sharing the same conference.
Unlike PacketCluster, with CLX several conferences can be going on at the same time. When specifying a name with the CONFERENCE command, you will either join the existing conference or start up a new one. There is no difference between the name "m15" and "M15" in the conference name. Users in conference mode will be shown with a "+" following their callsign.
From inside the conference mode you can issue CLX commands by using the escape character "*". For example, *SH/DX/20 will bring you the last 20 DX spots from within conference mode.
CONNECT <callsign>
This command is used to trigger CLX to initiate a connect to another link partner. CLX normally builds up these connects itself after a certain delay time, but to avoid waiting you may use this command to immediately start up the connection.
This is a privileged command.
CREATE/UDT <tablename>[/<flags>] [<cmnt>]
CREATE/!UDT <tablename>[/<flags>] [<cmnt>]
DESTROY/UDT <tablename>
INFO/UDT <tablename>
These commands are used to administer private database tables. Sysops may define any number of new databases using the CREATE/UDT command. Additionally read and write flags may be specified plus a comment which is shown with the SHOW/COMMANDS command.
The flags are defined as follows:
++ User may read and write the table
+- User may read the table only (this is the default)
-+ User may write the table (but not read --- does this make sense?)
-- User may not read nor write the table
DESTROY/UDT removes a database definition and also removes all the data in the table. The table is basically destroyed, just like the command says.
INFO/UDT is used to show information about a database table, like number of entries, when the table was created and what the access rights are.
CREATE/UDT and DESTROY/UDT are privileged commands, while INFO/UDT may also be used by a normal user.
DB_MAINT
This is a menu driven database engine interface which lets you perform different tasks, both statistics and maintenance like deleting old user records, cleaning up the mail directory, purging the user log and showing number of records in different tables. To make this command usable even through packet radio, there is only a one-line prompt, but if you wish to see all available options, use the command H (for help).
This is a privileged command.
DELete <nr1> [,nr2,...nrX>]
DELete/NODE <nr1> [,nr2,...nrX>]
DELete/BULletin <filename>
DELete/BULletin <year>/<filename>
The DELETE command is used to delete one or several messages. You can delete the message(s) only if you are the originator or the addressee of the mail message. You can delete several messages at a time by specifying the numbers separated with commas.
If your message is not kept locally but goes into a mail forwarding queue, you can list the message with the DIR/NODE command and delete the files with DELETE/NODE.
DELETE/BULLETIN allows you to delete a specific bulletin file from the bulletin file area. This is a privileged command.
Examples:
DELETE 803 Delete message 803
DELETE 803,805,807 Delete messages 803, 805 and 807
DELETE/NODE 1205 Delete message 1205 in the forwarding
queue
DELETE/BULLETIN OPDX352.98 Delete the bulletin named "opdx352.98"
in the current year directory.
DELETE/BULLETIN 1997/OPDX324.97 Delete the bulletin named
"opdx324.97" in the 1997 directory.
DESTROY: -> CREATE.
DIR: -> DIRECTORY.
DIRectory
DIRectory/<n>
DIRectory/New
DIRectory/Own
DIRectory/Own/<n>
DIRectory <call>
DIRectory/<n> <call>
DIRectory/NODE
DIRectory/NODE <node_call>
DIRectory/BULletin <expr>
DIRectory/BULletin <expr>/<year>
DIRECTORY shows a directory listing of the last five mail messages on the system. CLX does not differentiate between private mail and public messages. Everybody can read and see everything.
With an additional parameter <n> you can choose how many messages are displayed. DIRECTORY/10 for example lists the last 10 messages. The maximum for <n> is 99.
DIRECTORY/NEW lists only new messages after the last DIRECTORY/NEW command was issued.
Other extensions are DIRECTORY/OWN to list your own messages and DIRECTORY <call> where you can list messages from and to a specific callsign.
Messages which were read by the receiver are marked with a dash "-" next to the message number. A figure after this symbol shows how often the message was read, either by the addressee or by others.
Messages which have to be forwarded to another node can be listed only with the DIRECTORY/NODE <node_call> command. These files are physically located in a spool directory and will be automatically deleted after forwarding has completed. DIRECTORY/NODE without a node_callsign will show messages from you which are to be forwarded to other nodes.
DX bulletins are collected in a special directory. The list of bulletins is available with the DIRECTORY/BULLETIN command. As an argument, you must specify at least three leading characters of the file name, you are searching for. Additionally, a year number (four digits) may be specified before the filename or search mask.
Examples:
DIRECTORY Lists the most recent 5 messages
DIRECTORY/20 Lists the most recent 20 messages
DIRECTORY/NEW Lists all new messages
DIRECTORY/OWN Lists your own messages
DIRECTORY DL7MAT Lists messages to or from DL7MAT
DIRECTORY/NODE Lists messages which will be forwarded later
DIRECTORY/NODE DB0CLX Lists messages which will be forwarded to
DB0CLX at a later time
DIRECTORY/BULLETIN opdx* Lists any bulletins matching "opdx*" from the
current year.
DIRECTORY/BULLETIN 1997/opdx* Lists any bulletins named "opdx*" from the
1997 directory.
DISCONNECT <callsign>
This command is used to immediately disconnect a specific callsign, either a user or a node callsign. The station will be signed out as if it had sent a BYE command. Unfortunately, the command will always return with a message saying "Disconnecting ..." although the station may not be logged in at all. Check with SHOW/USERS if your disconnect command was successful.
This is a privileged command.
DX <call> <freq> [<rmx>]
The DX command is used to make DX callouts. This callout follows a specific scheme, which always contains callsign and frequency, often accompanied by additional remarks.
The callout will be forwarded to all other stations connected including yourself (as a control). DX information which cannot be expressed in a callout, should be announced via the ANNOUNCE command.
The frequency has to be specified in kHz. If you want to specify 100 Hz digits, you must put them behind a decimal point (not a comma). Additional information can be added up to 28 characters in length. Anything longer will be truncated.
Examples:
DX EA8ZS 3535.3
DX A61AJ 7013.7 up
GET: -> PUT.
GREP <pattern>
The GREP command helps you to look up information in bulletin files. When specifying a pattern, all available bulletin files are scanned in full-text mode and the lines containing the pattern are printed together with the name of the file in square brackets.
This is a support tool allowing you to retrieve specific DX information from a (probably, hopefully) huge and complete collection of electronic DX bulletin data.
Unlike other CLX commands, the search pattern is case dependent, so looking for "DF7RX" will give different results than looking for "df7rx".
Example:
GREP DF7RX Scan bulletins for the string "DF7RX"
INFO: -> CREATE.
LS: -> PUT.
MONITOR <callsign>
This utility allows you to trace a user's (or maybe a link partner's) activity. The command depends on your sysop having enabled logging to the clx_us/log/io.log. If there is no such file, the command returns with an error message.
After having entered the command, any input and output of the user is being traced and sent back to you indicating the callsign and the data direction with -> and <-. If you decide to follow another user, use the command "f <callsign>". To leave MONITOR, use "q".
When you are running MONITOR, no other commands are available. DX spots and other general broadcast messages will intermix with the output of MONITOR.
MONITOR is a privileged command.
GET <filename>
LS <filename>
PUT <filename>
RM <filename>
These are privileged commands.
These four commands operate on the files and directories under clx_us/box. This directory contains all kinds of different changible files like mail messages, spool directories for mail fowarding, login scripts, the welcome message, help files and DX bulletins.
The LS command lists files, GET reads a file, PUT writes a file and RM erases a file. These are raw commands, sometimes used to delete a user's broken profile or remove mail forwarding messages to a specific node. Do not mix up these commands with the equivalent Unix commands. The difference is that the CLX commands both remove the file from the directory and additionally delete the entry in the database table. Doing only one of the two would lead to an inconsistency and will generate a warning message at next CLX startup.
Examples:
GET batch/start/dk3gi Read DK3GI's startup file
RM batch/start/dk3gi Erase DK3GI's startup file
LS iclb/ok0dxi List messages to be forwarded
to OK0DXI
PW
PW OFF
The PW command is used to initiate the Baycom password dialog. If a Baycom password has been defined by the sysop, CLX prompts you with five numbers which are the positions of the characters in the password. As an answer you are sending these characters, optionally with leading and trailing "noise" characters. If you sent the correct password, you will be in sysop mode.
PW OFF turns off sysop mode again.
The sysop level is probably also available through the SET/PRIVIGLEGE command, however a different procedure is being used here.
QUIT: -> BYE.
RCMD/<node_call> <command>
The RCMD command allows any user to execute commands on a remote node. The execution is limited to certain subset of commands, no privileged commands can be run. The result of the remote command is sent back prefixed with the callsign of the remote node.
Example:
RCMD/DB0CLX SHOW/USERS Send a remote command to DB0CLX
Remote command sent to db0clx.
dl6rai de db0bcc 19-Jul-1998 0824Z clx >
db0clx: User:
db0clx: db0wgs-15 dk2wv oe5ukl dl5no dj0zy ik5pwl
db0clx: dk2oy
db0clx: dl6rai de db0clx 19-Jul-1998 0824Z clx >
Read <n>
Read mail message number <n>. Message numbers can be listed with the DIRECTORY command.
REPly <n>
REPly/DELete <n>
Use REPLY to answer a mail message. Contrary to PacketCluster you must always specify the message number to be replied to. The subject field will automatically be changed to ">:" <old_subject>.
The optional modifier /DELETE will delete the original message after your reply is sent.
Examples:
REPLY 807 prepares an reply for msg nr. 807
REPLY/DELETE 807 prepares an reply for msg nr. 807 and
additionally removes msg nr. 807 after
successful completion of the new message.
REREAD
Use this command to force CLX to re-read the files adv_txt, clx_par and cluster_par after applying changes. CLX detects a change of these files normally within five minutes but if you require immediate action, you can use this command to trigger a re-read.
This is a privileged command.
RINST/<node_call> <command>
The RINST command allows a sysop to execute commands on a remote node. The effect of this command is that an appropriate PC34 message is generated and sent to the remote node. Replies are silently ignored and no feedback message is returned. This command should be used to allow simple tasks like setting time on remote DOS-based nodes (this was the original idea for this command).
Example:
RINST/DB0CLX SET/DATE 9-MAR-2000
RINST/DB0CLX SET/TIME 03:36
RM: -> PUT.
Send <call> <subject>
Send <call>><node_call> <subject>
Send <call>@<node_call> <subject>
Send/Copy <#msg> <call>
This command is used to generate a mail message either to one specific user or to a bulletin address. Unlike PacketCluster you must specify everything on one line with the send command. The title may be 30 characters long at maximum.
The system will then prompt you to enter the message. To abort the message use ctrl-Y. To end the message, use either "/exit" on a new line, ctrl-Z or "***end". You may also use your exit string if you have defined one. As a check, you could now list the message with the "directory" command and read it if you wished.
Clx does not differentiate between private and public messages. Everything can be read by everybody. Messages however, can only be deleted by the addressee or the originator.
If the message is to be forwarded to another cluster or CLX node, you must use the forward symbols ">" or "@". You must not put blanks between the callsign of the addressee and the cluster/CLX node call. Messages for users who have an entry in the home node table, will automatically be routed there.
SEND/COPY may be used to send a copy of a message to another user.
Examples:
SEND DL6RAI So ein Mist! Prepares a message to Dl6RAI with
the title "So ein Mist!"
SEND DJ0ZY@DB0CLX Hallo Prepares a message to DJ0ZY (to
be forwarded to DB0CLX) with the
title "Hallo".
SEND/COPY 807 DL2NBU Sends a copy of msg nr. 807 to
DL2NBU
SET/...
The set command allows the change of user specified settings. These are the set commands:
SET/ALARM, SET/NOALARM
SET/ALIVE, SET/NOALIVE
SET/ANSI, SET/NOANSI
SET/BEEP, SET/NOBEEP
SET/CHARSET
SET/DISTRO, SET/NODISTRO
SET/DX_ANNOUNCE, SET/NODX_ANNOUNCE
SET/DXDEDX, SET/NODXDEDX
SET/EXIT
SET/FILTER, SET/NOFILTER
SET/HERE, SET/NOHERE
SET/HOME_NODE
SET/LANGUAGE
SET/LOCATION
SET/LOCKOUT, SET/NOLOCKOUT
SET/LOGIN_ANNOUNCE, SET/NOLOGIN_ANNOUNCE
SET/NAME
SET/PAGE
SET/PRIVILEGE, SET/NOPRIVILEGE
SET/QTH
SET/SPOTS, SET/NOSPOTS
SET/TALKTIME
SEt/ALarm <string>
This feature allows you to wait for a special string to show up either in 1. Login/Logout 2. DX spots (call and comment field) 3. Accouncements
It can be useful when you are waiting for a rare DX call or a friend. The matching is case independent and the alarm will produce a long beep (3 times ctrl-G) when it is triggered.
The alarm function can be disabled by using SET/NOALARM. The setting is volatile, so it is not remembered over a CLX session.
SEt/ALive [<char>]
This command switches on an anti-timeout poll. CLX will send you a binary ctrl-A character every ten minutes in an attempt to keep your connection busy during quiet periods. If you specify an optional character, CLX will send this character instead of the ctrl-A. Characters may be specified hexadecimal or decimal.
Example:
SET/ALIVE 13 Will make CLX send you a carriage return
-- or -- character ten minutes.
SET/ALIVE 0xd
SEt/Announce
This command turns the reception of announcements on after having turned them off with SET/NOANNOUNCE.
SEt/ANSI
Turns on color attributes for DX spots, announce, talk messages, new mail and login/logout messages. This works only for an ANSI-based Terminal. This command is permanent and the setting will be saved in your user record.
SEt/BEep
Turn beeps on for TALK, DX, ANN and NEW MAIL. Default is off. Following PacketCluster conventions, this is the number of ctrl-G- characters (Bell or Beep characters) sent:
Announce = ^G
Talk = ^G
DX = ^G^G
New Mail = ^G^G^G
SEt/CHARSet <charset>
SEt/CHARSet
Selects your preferred character set. Default is IBM, so that most user will never have to touch this parameter. However, if you are running under Unix or another strange opreating system and have problems reading the special "umlaut" characters of your native language, try this. By default, the following character sets are defined in CLX: ISO, IBM and DIN. Specifying the command without an argument will switch back to the default setting.
Examples:
SET/CHARSET ISO
SET/DISTRO <listname> <callsign>
SET/NODISTRO <listname> <callsign>
Adds or removes a callsign to or from a distribution list. If the list does not exist, it will be created. If the last member of a list is being removed the list will be removed too. Callsigns have to be added one by one.
This is a privileged command.
Examples:
SET/DISTRO UKW DL5MAE Puts DL5MAE on the UKW list
SET/NODISTRO UKW DL5MAE Removes DL5MAE from the UKW list
SEt/DX_announce
This command turns the reception of DX spots on after having turned them off with SET/NODX_ANNOUNCE.
SEt/DXDedx
When you have previously disabled DX spots from other continents, you can re-enable them with SET/DXDEDX.
SEt/EXit <string>
This command allows you to enter a different "exit" string for terminating messages, files etc. The default is "/exit" or "^Z" on a new line.
Example:
SET/EXIT ***end Changes your exit string to "***end"
SEt/FIlter <nr1,nr2,..,nrX>
This command lets you set reject filters as defined by your sysop. You first should look up which filters are defined at your CLX node. This is the default list:
Filter Meaning
-------------------------------------
1 VHF 144.000 MHz and up
2 HF 30.000 MHz and down
3 TOP 1.800-2.000 MHz
4 all the CW band segments
5 all the SSB band segments
6 all the RTTY band segments
7 all the WARC bands
-------------------------------------
After you have decided which filters you would like to switch in, you use the command as follows:
SET/FILTER 4,6
SET/FILTER 1,3
SEt/HERE
This command removes the away flag from your callsign if you have set it with the SET/NOHERE command, thus telling users that you are at your console.
SEt/HOME_node <call>
State to which CLX or PacketCluster node mail messages for your should be forwarded. This information will also be passed around on the net. If no callsign is given, then the presently registered information will be deleted.
If you do not set the home_node explicitly, CLX will decide on its own by counting the number of logins at a specific node. If you log in more than five times at the same node, it will assume that this is your (probably new) home node. However, if you have ever manually set this information, CLX will not change it on its own.
SEt/LAnguage <language>
This command lets you select the preferred language for interacting with the CLX system. You may lookup which languages are available with the SHOW/LANGUAGES command. This command refers to normal system messages as well as HELP. Using SET/LANGUAGE with no argument will switch back to the default, which could be English or any other language your Sysop has defined to be the default.
SEt/LOCation <coordinates or qth locator>
This command allows you to enter geographical coordinates in degrees and minutes North/South, East/West. This information is needed when sunrise/sunset is calculated and when beam headings or propagation forecasts are made. As an alternative, you can specify your location with the Maidenhead QTH locator which is probably better known to you than the geographical position. The QTH locator will then be converted into degrees and minutes.
Examples:
SET/LOCATION 48 34 N 12 12 E
SET/LOCATION JN58UD
SET/LOCKOUT <callsign>
SET/NOLOCKOUT <callsign>
This is a privileged command. Sets or resets the "login_ignored" flag in the callsign's record so that connects from this station are refused. When the station tries to connect, it will receive the connect but immediately followed by a disconnect.
To change a station's entry back to the default, use SET/NOLOCKOUT.
Example:
SET/LOCKOUT dl6rai locks out DL6RAI
SET/NOLOCKOUT dl6rai allows DL6RAI to connect again
SEt/LOGin_announce
Set to see user logins and logouts locally. For each login or logout (user or cluster node), a message is sent to you from the system:
Login at 1929Z: DL6RAI
Logout at 1930Z: DK2OY
SEt/MOTD
Use this command to change or create a new login message which is presented to each user at login. Send the command SET/MOTD, then return, wait for the system to prompt you, and then start entering the message. Finish with "/exit".
This is a privileged command.
SEt/NAME <name>
This command allows you to enter your name. After you have done this, CLX will usually greet you at login with your name. The default name is "om".
SEt/NOALarm
Turns off a previously set alarm with SET/ALARM <string>.
SEt/NOALive
This command switches off an anti-timeout poll. If on, CLX will send you a binary '0' character every ten minutes in an attempt to keep your link alive.
SEt/NOAnnounce
This command turns the reception of announcements off. This could, for example be used if you were reading a lengthy message and did not want announcements in between the lines or if you are tired of reading announcements in Japanese and Finnish. This command is permanent, it will disable the receiving of announcements to you until you re-enable them with SET/ANNOUNCE.
SEt/NOANSI
Turns off color attributes previously switched on using SET/ANSI.
SEt/NOBEep
Turn beeps off for TALK, DX,ANN and NEW MAIL.
SET/NODISTRO: -> SET/DISTRO.
SEt/NODX_announce
This command turns the reception of DX spots off. This could, for example be used if you were reading a lengthy message and did not want DX spots in between the lines. This command is permanent, it will disable the sending of DX spots to you until you re-enable them with SET/DX_ANNOUNCE.
SEt/NODXDedx
This command is used to turn off so-called internet spots when correctly configured by the sysop. DX spots originating from specific WAZ zones are not forwarded to you when you have issued a SET/NODXDEDX command. This flag is saved in your user record so you will only have to specify it once to turn these (for you) annoying messages of. The default is to send all DX spots.
For example, your sysop could have defined zones 03, 04, 05 and 25 as DX zones. If you then turn on the NO-DX-de-DX filter, you will never again receive any spots from these areas although other users probably will.
This command also applies to plain SHOW/DX and SHOW/DX/<n> requests.
To look up, which zones were being defined as DX zones, use the command SHOW/DXDEDX.
SEt/NOFIlter <nr1,nr2,..,nrX>
To remove a filter from your selection, you can use the SET/NOFILTER command. You can remove specific filters by adding the filter number as an argument.
set/nofilter 1
set/nofilter 1,3
SEt/NOHERE
This command is used to indicate to other users that you are not currently at your computer's console and so they will probably be waiting in vain for a quick response from your side. Use this command if you are away. After sending a SET/NOHERE to CLX, your callsign will show up in brackets in the user list. Also your prompt will change and show your callsign in brackets. After you return, issue a SET/HERE command and everything will return to normal.
Even when you are away, you will still continue to receive DX spots, announcements and talks.
SET/NOLOCKOUT: -> SET/LOCKOUT.
SEt/NOLOGin_announce
Set if you do not wish to see user and node logins and logouts locally. The default is off.
SEt/NOMOTD
This command is used to delete the login message previously created with the SET/MOTD command.
This is a privileged command.
SEt/NOPRIVILEGE
SEt/NOPRIVILEGE <user>
This command is for sysops and administators of the node only. When the command is issued, any priveleges that were set are removed and you become a normal user again.
SEt/NOSPots
This command turns the reception of DX spots, announcements and login/logout messages off.
SEt/NOTalkTime
This turns off the option which makes talk messages directed to you show up with a time indicator previously enabled with the command SET/TALKTIME.
SET/NOWATCHDOG: -> SET/WATCHDOG.
SEt/PRIVILEGE
SEt/PRIVILEGE <user>
This command is for sysops and administators of the node only. When the command is issued, CLX responds with a string which you have to reply to correctly. Further details are described in the CLX sysop manual.
Administrators may switch another user into sysop mode during their current session by specifying a callsign after the SET/PRIVILEGE command.
SEt/QTH <name>
This command allows you to enter your city, town, village - whatever you like to specify here. This information will show up when you request sunrise/sunset calculations, beam headings or propagation forecasts.
SEt/SPots
This command turns the reception of DX spots and announcements back on.
SEt/TalkTime
This command makes talk messages directed to you show up with time field so you know when the talk message was sent to you.
before:
dl6rai de df3cb: Helo
dl6rai de df3cb(1726Z): Helo
SET/WATCHDOG
SET/NOWATCHDOG
SHOW/WATCHDOG
This is a privileged command. Activates or deactivates the CLX watchdog or shows its status. This command is used to actively disable the watchdog when you are planning to do an update of the CLX software or other very cpu-intense tasks where the watchdog could probably "think" that CLX was dead and initiate a shutdown.
SHOW/...
The show command is used for accessing different tables and data bases of CLX. These are the available SHOW commands:
SHOW/ANNOUNCEMENTS
SHOW/ANNOUNCEMENTSFROM
SHOW/BANDS
SHOW/CALLBOOK
SHOW/CBA
SHOW/CHARSET, SHOW/CHARSETS
SHOW/CLUSTER
SHOW/COMMANDS
SHOW/CONFERENCE
SHOW/CONFIGURATION
SHOW/CONTEST
SHOW/DISTRO
SHOW/DX
SHOW/DXCC
SHOW/DXDEDX
SHOW/DXFROM
SHOW/DXSTATISTIC
SHOW/EXIT
SHOW/FILTER, SHOW/FILTERS
SHOW/GRAYLINE
SHOW/HEADING
SHOW/LANGUAGE, SHOW/LANGUAGES
SHOW/LOG
SHOW/MANAGER
SHOW/PREFIX
SHOW/PROFILE
SHOW/QSL
SHOW/SETTINGS
SHOW/STATION
SHOW/SUN
SHOW/SYSOP
SHOW/UPTIME
SHOW/USERS
SHOW/VERSION
SHOW/WWV
SHow/ANNouncements
SHow/ANNouncements/<n>
SHow/ANNouncements '<string>'
Show the latest announcements. With the optional parameter <n>, (where "n" is a number), you may request a specific number of announcements. Adding a string (enclosed in single quotes) to the SHOW/ANNOUNCEMENTS command looks up and announcements containing <string>. This helps you look up specific information in announcements.
SHow/AnnouncementsFrom <call>
SHow/AnnouncementsFrom/<n> <call>
This command lets you select announcements from a specific logger. For example, with SHOW/ANNF/10 HB9DFG you will see the last 10 announcements that were entered by HB9DFG.
SHow/BANDS
SHow/BANDS <mode>
This command lists all bands and frequency limits known by CLX. This way you can find out which argument to use when, for example, you are looking for spots from 47 GHz.
Example:
SHOW/BANDS Lists all available bands
SHOW/BANDS RTTY Lists all RTTY segments known to CLX
SHow/CBA <call> [<call>...]
Depending on whether the sysop has installed this information database, this command prints callbook information for the specified callsign(s).
Examples:
SHOW/CBA DK3GI looks up Callbook information for
DK3GI.
SHOW/CBA DK3GI DF4RD looks up Callbook information for
DK3GI and DF4RD.
SHow/CHARSet
This command shows the character set currently in use by you. You may change the character set with the SET/CHARSET command to fit your operating system or local conventions. This may help to show special national characters correctly on your screen.
SHow/CHARSets
This command shows a listing of the currently available character sets.
SHow/CLuster
This command shows the current cluster configuration with number of links, local users and total nodes in the network. Additionally, the start time is printed and the uptime in days, hours, minutes and seconds.
SHow/COMmands
Shows all user data tables, i.e. address database, IOTA database or whatever your sysop has installed as a database including the creation date of the file and its permissions. Some databases may be read-only for users, that is you are not allowed to add or change any data. Others may allow updating.
SHow/CONFERence
CLX allows multiple conferences to exist simultaneously. Anybody can start a new conference if they so wish by using an argument to the CONFERENCE command.
To list the active conferences (if any are in use), use the SHOW/CONFERENCE command.
SHow/Configuration
SHow/Configuration/Nodes
SHow/Configuration/Links
SHow/Configuration <call>
Show connected nodes and (as far as known) the users logged on. If a node callsign is given, the current users of that node will be shown. With the extension /NODES only direct links will be shown. With the /LINKS extension, directly linked nodes will be shown with their respective network nodes.
Direct links are marked with a symbol:
= Active connection
- Passive connection
~ Trying connection
^ Initialization started
? Status uncertain
SHow/CONTEST <month>
SHow/CONTEST <month>/<year>
SHow/CONTEST <year>
SHow/CONTEST <title>
SHow/CONTEST <wildcard>*
This command lets you retrieve contest dates and rule information from DF7RX's famous collection of contest rules. You may either specify a month in numerical or abbreviated form, a year (like 1998), the name of a rules file (shown in the monthly or yearly overview) or a wildcard like "rsgb*" to look up all RSGB contests. Dates and times are computed for the month specified.

SHOW/DXSTAT: -> SHOW/DXSTATISTIC.
SHow/DXStatistic
This command lets you query statistical data about the DX database for the last hour, the last six hours and the last 24 hours. A band-by-band listing will be generated showing the number of DX spots reported during these time intervals.
SHow/EXit
This command shows your personal current exit string which can be changed with SET/EXIT.
SHow/FIlter
The command SHOW/FILTER shows your current filter settings. Normally there are no filters at all but if you specified some with SET/FILTER, you will see which filters are set. See HELP SET/FILTER for further details.
SHow/FIlterS
This command shows which filters are available on the system.
SHow/GRAYLINE <location> [<location> ...]
Like SHOW/SUN, this command calculates sunrise and sunset times for a specific location from a user's call, a prefix from the DXCC database, the system file location.dat or a QTH locator. Additionally the beginning of dawn and the end of dusk are calculated too. This allows you to see grayline-windows for specific locations. The grayline window may be as short as 20 minutes and as long as 24 hours depending on where you are on this world and what time of the year.
There are five different cases that can happen:
1. We have dawn, sunrise, day, sunset, dusk and night, the normal case 2. Polar day, sun always above horizon. 3. Polar day, with dawn and dusk but no night phase. Dawn begins at local midnight, when dusk ends. 4. Polar night, no dusk or dawn. 5. Polar night with dawn and dusk but no day phase.
For these five cases we have different forms of output formats:
begin end
of sun- sun- of
dawn rise set dusk

SHOW/GRAYLINE calculates the sunrise/sunset and grayline times for your own QTH (if you have set your location data with SET/LOCATION).
SHOW/SUN JN58VF DJ0ZY KL7 calculates the sunrise/sunset and
grayline times for your own QTH,
the place located in JN58VF, the
location of DJ0ZY, and for any of
the KL7 locations in the system
file location.dat.
SHow/HEADING <location> [<location> ...]
This command calculates beam heading, distance and reciprocal beam heading for a specific location from a user's call, a prefix from the DXCC database, the system file location.dat or a QTH locator. What is a reciprocal beam heading you ask? It is the beam heading that your partner needs to turn his antenna to. For locations further away than 8,000 kilometers, the long path will also be calculated.
Several arguments can be specified at the same time.
Examples:
SHOW/HEADING KL7 calculates the distance and beam heading from your QTH to KL7, Alaska. If there is no location information for your station, the location of your country in the country database will be used.
SHOW/HEADING JN58VF JN68BM Calculates the distance and beam heading
from your QTH to JN58VF and to JN68BM.
SHow/LAnguage
Shows the system language you have selected at the moment. This language is used with system messages and help information. You may change this with the SET/LANGUAGE command.
SHow/LAnguages
This command shows which languages are available on the system.
SHow/LOCATOR <location> [<location> ...]
This command calculates the geographical coordinates in degrees and minutes. Latitude is shown North (N) or South (S) of the equator, longitude is shown East (E) or West (W) of Greenwich. Additionally the Maidenhead QTH locator is calculated.
Several arguments can be specified at the same time.
Examples:
SHOW/LOCATOR KL7 Calculates geographical coordinates of your QTH and all known KL7 locations.
SHOW/LOCATOR JN58VF JN68BM Calculates geographical coordinates of
your QTH and the locations JN58VF and
JN68BM.
SHow/LOg
SHow/LOg/<n>
SHow/LOg <call>
Shows times for login and logout of users and nodes in the system. The default is to show the last five log messages. If you wish to see more, you may add a figure to the command like SHOW/LOG/20 to see the last 20 logins/logouts.
You may also select a specifiy callsign. SHOW/LOG DL2NBU shows the last five logins/logouts from DL2NBU with any SSID. If you specify the SSID, only those records will be listed.
Example:
SHOW/LOG Shows the last 5 logins/logouts
SHOW/LOG DL2NBU Shows the last 5 logins/logouts of DL2NBU
SHOW/LOG/10 DL2NBU Shows the last 10 logins/logouts of DL2NBU
SHOW/LOG/10 DL2NBU-3 Shows the last 10 logins/logouts of DL2NBU-3
SHow/MANAGer <call>
Show the stations for whom a particular callsign is QSL manager
The QSL database like other databases, may or may not be open for user updates. This depends on how your sysop has configured the database.
Example:
SHOW/MANAGER W3HNK shows for which stations W3HNK is a
QSL manager
SHow/MOON <location> [<location> ...]
This command calculates azimuth, elevation and the time of the next moonset and moonrise for any given location from a user's call, a prefix from the DXCC database, the system file location.dat or a QTH locator. Several arguments can be specified at the same time. A negative elevation indicates that the moon is below the horizon. If the moonset or moonrise was on a previous day or will be on the next day a + or - character will be shown in front of the times given to indicate this.
An algorithm based on the program MOONTRAK.BAS originating from WB7CCI and G3RWL is used for this calculation. The results were checked and verified against W5UN's MS-DOS program MOONBRAT.EXE.
Examples:
SHOW/MOON calculates the moon data for your own QTH (if you have set your location data with SET/LOCATION and SET/QTH).
SHOW/MOON JN58VF DJ0ZY KL7 calculates the moon data
for your own QTH, the place
located in JN58VF, the location of
DJ0ZY, and for any of the KL7 locations
in the system file location.dat.
SHow/PREfix <call or prefix>
This command is used to query CLX's DXCC database for a callsign or prefix. This information is gathered from a recent version of CTY.DAT, the country information file of the popular contest software CT, (c) K1EA.
SHow/PROFile
SHow/PROFile <call>
This command lists your personal login profile script which is always executed when you login to the system. This is often used for listing recent DX spots, users etc. Your profile may be changed with the UPDATE/PROFILE command. If you want to take a look into another's user profile, you can use SHOW/PROFILE <call>
SHow/QSL <call>
CLX has a structured QSL information database for DX stations and their QSL managers. Here, only DX callsigns and manager callsigns are to be found. Direct mail addresses are stored elsewehere. The reason for this is that the QSL database may be used in reverse to look up for which stations a QSL manager is acting using the SHOW/MANAGER command.
The output for SH/QSL shows DX station, QSL manager and who entered this information on which date. Additionally, a comment may have been entered.
The QSL database, like other databases may or may not be open for user updates. This depends on how your sysop has configured the database.
Example:
SHOW/QSL LX7A shows QSL manager for LX7A
SHOW/SCATTER: -> SHOW/TRIGPOINT.
SHow/SEttings
SHOW/SETTINGS shows current user settings like ANSI, DXDEDX, BEEP, Filter settings etc.
SHow/STATion <call>
This command is used to show the personal data of another CLX user like name, QTH, location, last login etc. The first line indicates to which node the station is connected or if it is not connected at all.
SHow/SUN <location> [<location> ...]
This command calculates sunrise and sunset times for a specific location from a user's call, a prefix from the DXCC database, the system file location.dat or a QTH locator. Several arguments can be specified at the same time.
Examples:
SHOW/SUN calculates the sunrise/sunset times for your own QTH (if you have set your location data with SET/LOCATION).
SHOW/SUN JN58VF DJ0ZY KL7 calculates the sunrise/sunset
times for your own QTH, the place
located in JN58VF, the location of
DJ0ZY, and for any of the KL7 locations
in the system file location.dat.
SHow/SYSOP
This command allows you to find the name of the system operator for this CLX installation if he has chosen to put this information into the system. If not, a message is displayed saying that no information is present.
SHow/TRIGPOINT [<location1>] <heading1> <location2> <heading2> [<location>]
SHow/SCATTER [<location1>] <heading1> <location2> <heading2> [<location>]
This command calculates a triangulation point for beam headings from two locations. This is what you get when you draw beam headings on a map from two points to find out where they cross. This command can be used for determinating scatter areas for 10 and 24 GHz rain scatter propagation, finding FAI points for 50 and 144 MHz or for locating an unknown signal source with known beam headings from two locations.
This is a very sophisticated feature, based on a BASIC program written by OE5VRL. If additional locations are mentioned, the beam heading from these locations to the trigpoint will be calculated too, enabling you to predict where other stations will have to point their antenna. If <location1> is left off, your own location (if it has been entered) will be used.
There are some situations where the command may fail or give incorrect results, like when the two beam headings are identical or very close. However, the algorithm has been of practical use among GHz enthusiasts.
SHOW/SCATTER and SHOW/TRIGPOINT are identical.
Examples:
SHOW/SCATTER 35 JN68AH 330 Calculates trigpoint for
a beam heading of 35 degrees
from my QTH and 330 degrees
from JN68AH.
SHOW/SCATTER JN58VF 35 JN68AH 330 Calculates trigpoint for a
beam heading of 35 degrees
from JN58VF and 330 degrees
from JN68AH.
SHow/UPTime
This command shows the system uptime in days, hours minutes and seconds after the last start.
SHow/Users
Shows users who are locally connected to the system. Users which have set the not-here flag are shown in brackets. Users in conference mode will be shown with a '+' character at the end.
SHow/VErsion
This command shows the current version of the CLX software running on the system and some copyright information.
SHOW/WATCHDOG: -> SET/WATCHDOG.
SHow/WCY
SHow/WCY/<n>
SHow/WCY <date>
SHow/WCY MAXimum <days>
SHow/WCY MINimum <days>
Shows solar and geomagnetic data collected and transmitted by the DK0WCY Aurora Beacon System at Scheggerott near Kiel, northern Germany. By default, the five last WCY spots are shown. You may request more spots by adding a figure behind the command, like SHOW/WCY/20. Additionally, you may specify a date to look up WCY data from a specific date, like SHOW/WCY 12-FEB-2000. You may also specify the parameters MAXIMUM or MINIMUM to list maximum or minimum solar flux spots in the last <n> days.
The data is structured into eight fields. The meaning of these fields is as follows:
k: k-Index (0..9) The k index is an indicator for geomagnetic activity over the last of the eight 3-hours measuring periodes, which start at 0 utc (0-3, 3-6, 6-9, 9-12, 12-15, 15-18, 18-21, 21-24 utc). Its value is from 0 to 9, where 0 means a very quiet geomagnetic field and 9 indicates a severe magnetic storm.
expK: expected k-index for the next hour (0..9) The k index expected represents the already measured activity - starting from the beginning of the current 3-hours measuring periode.
A: A-Index (0..400) The A index is also a measure for the geomagnetic field, but smoothed over the last 24 hours and on a scale of 0 to 400, where 0 means a very quiet geomagnetic field, while > 50 means very stormy conditions, it may reach 400.
R: Sunspot Number (0..300) The sun spot number is an indicator for solar activity. It is calculated on the number of visible spots on the sun in relation to the number of spot groups. During low sunspot activity years, numbers around 0..50 are common, while during periods of high activity, values of up to 300 can be observed.
SFI: Solar Flux Index (65..300) The Solar Flux Index is another, more objective means of describing solar activity. The value shows the amount of the energy flux to earth (sun noise), measured at 2800 MHz.
SA: Sun Activity (qui,eru,act,maj,pro,war,nil) The Sun Activity is classified as follows:
qui = quiet
eru = eruptive
act = active
maj = major flare
pro = proton flare
war = warning conditions
nil = no info available
GMF: Geomagnetic Field (qui,act,min,maj,sev,mag,war,nil) The geomagnetic field is classified as follows:
qui = quiet
act = active
min = minor storm
maj = major storm
sev = severe storm
mag = magstorm in progress
war = warning conditions
nil = no info available
The Aurora status is classified as follows:
no = no Aurora
aurora = Aurora is reported
strong = strong Aurora is reported
SHOW/WCY Shows the last 5 WCY spots
SHOW/WCY/20 Shows the last 20 WCY spots
SHOW/WCY 12-FEB-2000 Shows up to 5 spots from February 12, 2000
SHOW/WCY MAXIMUM 60 Shows the 5 spots with the highest SF number
in the last 60 days.
SHow/Wwv
SHow/Wwv/<n>
SHow/Wwv <date>
SHow/Wwv MAXimum <days>
SHow/Wwv MINimum <days>
Shows WWV propagation data in the fixed CLX format. By default, the five last spots are shown. You may request more spots by adding a figure behind the command, like SHOW/WWV/20. Additionally, you may specify a date to look up WWV data from a specific date, like SHOW/WWV 29-NOV-1997. You may also specify the parameters MAXIMUM or MINIMUM to list maximum or minimum solar flux spots in the last <n> days. In addition to the solar flux, the relative sunspot number (R) is caluclated as this is more common in some areas of the world.
Examples:
SHOW/WWV Shows the last 5 WWV spots
SHOW/WWV/20 Shows the last 20 WWV spots
SHOW/WWV 13-NOV-1997 Shows up to 5 spots from November 13, 1997.
SHOW/WWV MAXIMUM 60 Shows the 5 spots with the highest SF number
in the last 60 days.

Talk <call> <text>
Talk <call>><node_call> <text>
Talk <call>@<node_call> <text>
Talk <call>
TALK is used to send a short talk message to another user who is also connected to the system. See if your partner is connected with the SH/USERS command and then send the text: T <call> <text>.
If you want to start a lengthy conversation, use the second method: Send T <call> once. Now CLX will switch you into Talk Mode. You will be notified that all you type from now on will be sent to your partner. You finish Talk Mode with "/exit" on a new line.
From within the Talk Mode you can issue CLX commands by prefixing them with an asterisk ("*"). For example, *SH/DX 20 will output the last 20 DX callouts without leaving Talk Mode.
Talks will automatically be forwarded to other nodes if your partner station is not connected locally. However, if the callsign is not shown in the user list (SHOW/CONFIGURATION), you may have to force forwarding by specifying the target node on the command line, either using the character > or @. Note that unlike PacketCluster, you must NOT put blanks between the two callsigns.
Examples:
TALK DL2NBU Hi Peter, good evening! Send a one-liner to DL2NBU
TALK DL2NBU Turn on Talk mode to DL2NBU
TALK DJ0ZY>DB0BCC Hello Radio! Explicitly specify where you
TALK DJ0ZY@DB0BCC Hello Radio! wish to send the talk message.
TYpe/BULletin <name>
TYpe/BULletin <year>/<name>
This command displays the bulletin file specified on the command line. The bulletin tag may be abbreviated and if the year is not specified, the current year is assumed.
Example:
TYPE/BULLETIN OPDX352.98 output OPDX nr. 352 from
the current year which was
uploaded with the name
"opdx352.98".
TYPE/BULLETIN 1997/OPDX324.97 output OPDX nr. 324 from
the 1997 directory.
UPDate
The UPDATE command is used to enter data into a database table. For example, the QSL database may be updated by using this command.
See HELP UPDATE/QSL and HELP UPDATE/PROFILE for more details.
UPDate/PROFILE
UPDATE/PROFILE is used to upload or overwrite your login script. This is similar to PacketCluster's UPLOAD/USERCMD. The login script often contains routine commands which are executed at login, like DIR/NEW, SH/DX 10. You can test your profile by using the command EXEC/PROFILE and list it by using SHOW/PROFILE.
UPDate/QSL <dx-call> <manager> [<comment>]
This command is used to update the QSL database. If you wish to enter data, you must follow the syntax above. Entering a comment is optional. Entries may be deleted with the CLEAR/QSL command.
UPLoad/BULletin <name>
UPLoad/BULletin <year>/<name>
This command is used to upload a bulletin file into the bulletin area. If the year is not specified, then the current year will be assumed. Otherwise, the year must be specified as a four-digit number. The name of the bulletin file is automatically converted to lower-case letters.
Examples:
UPLOAD/BULLETIN OPDX359.98 upload the OPDX nr. 359 to the
current-year directory
UPLOAD/BULLETIN 1997/OPDX324.97 upload the OPDX nr. 324 to the
1997-year directory
WCY k=<k-index>,expk=<expected-k>,a=<a-index>,r=<sunspot number>,
sfi=<solar flux index>,sa=<sun activity>,
gmf=<geomagnetic field>,au=<aurora>
The WCY command is used to enter DK0WCY sun and geomagnetic information into the CLX system. The DK0WCY Aurora Beacon system is providing current data transmitting 24 hours on 10.144 MHz and on 3.579 MHz (7-8, 15-18 utc, summer: -1) from Scheggerott (near Kiel, northern Germany) in CW. The beacon is popular all over Europe among HF and VHF enthusiasts. Further information about DK0WCY can be found on the internet at http://www.dk0wcy.de
Information is structured into the eight data fields:
k: Kiel k-Index (0..9)
expK: expected Kiel k-index for the current 3-h-measuring periode
A: Kiel A-Index (0..400)
R: Sunspot Number, SSN (0..300)
SFI: Solar Flux Index (65..300)
SA: Sun Activity (qui,eru,act,maj,pro,war,nil)
GMF: Geomagnetic Field (qui,act,min,maj,sev,mag,war,nil)
AU: Aurora Status (no,aurora,strong)
While A- and k-index are measured at the DK0WCY location near Kiel, the other information is retrieved from Space Environment Center at Boulder/CO.
DK0WCY connects to the CLX system at regular intervals to report the WCY status. Only one status report per hour is accepted. In areas of the CLX network, where DK0WCY messages cannot be received, users may optionally enter WCY data from listening to the 10.144 MHz or 3.579 MHz transmission.
Example:
WCY k=6,expk=5,a=25,r=220,sfi=202,sa=act,gmf=act,au=strong
Wwv sf=<flux>,a=<a-index>,k=<k-index>[,<comment>]
The WWV command is used to enter WWV propagation data into the CLX system. It is used in a special format where you must specify Flux, A and K index plus an optional comment.
Example:
WWV SF=94, A=6, K=4 SA=moderate, GF=unsettled
